|
||
|
||
HCI originated (1974) as the National Council to Control Handguns
|
||
(NCCH), a group which lobbied for government restrictions on the right
|
||
to keep and bear arms through support for restrictions on the
|
||
manufacture, importation, sale, transfer, and civilian possession of
|
||
handguns. The organization voiced a desire for an eventual handgun ban
|
||
through gradual steps, but changed its name and espoused goals due to
|
||
results of a survey. In 1991, HCI amended its Articles of Incorporation
|
||
to reflect its support of restrictions on rifles and shotguns as well.

The Center to Prevent Handgun Violence (CPHV) is an HCI "educational"
|

spin-off that portrays firearms and their ownership as inherently
|

dangerous. Straight Talk About Risks (S.T.A.R.), CPHV's
|
||
politically-based anti-gun curriculum targets schoolchildren aged
|
||
pre-K through 12th grade.
|
||
The CPHV is located at 1400 K Street, N.W., Suite 500,
|
||
Washington, DC 20005.

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), was originally formed in
|
||
1975 as the National Coalition to Ban Handguns (NCBH) "for the purposes
|
||
of banning the importation, manufacture, sale, transfer, ownership
|
||
and possession of handguns." In 1989, after expanding its efforts to
|
||
include restrictions on all firearms, the group adopted its new name,
|
||
Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.
|
||
|
||
The United Methodist Church was the principle founder of CSGV. CSGV's
|
||
membership is comprised of individual supporters. Ex-CIA employee,
|
||
Edward O. Welles, who also helped to form HCI, was an original NCBH
|
||
board member and, reportedly, NCCH/HCI was an unreported member of the
|
||
Coalition for several years.
|
||
CSGV's policy-making membership is comprised of 34 national
|
||
organizations including:
|
||
|
||

|

Incorporated in 1978 as an "educational" spin-off to the Coalition to

Executive Director: Josh Sugarmann
|

Of Counsel: Kristen Rand
|
||
|
||
The Violence Policy Center is the new name of the New Right Watch
|
||
(NRW), a non-profit group that "researched" what it perceived as a
|
||
new right-wing American political movement. NRW focused its attack
|
||
on semi-automatic firearms with two releases: Assault Weapons and
|
||
Accessories in America (1988), a joint effort with EFEHV, and Assault
|
||
Weapons: Analysis, New Research, and Legislation (1989). Funding for
|
||
New Right Watch was received from individual and foundation grants.
|
||
|
||
VPC is a non-profit national "educational" foundation that proposes
|
||
firearms restrictions as measures to reduce violence in America. VPC's
|
||
Executive Director, Josh Sugarmann, formerly the Executive Director of
|
||
the New Right Watch and, previously, with the National Coalition to Ban
|
||
Handguns, is the author of a new book attacking the NRA, NRA: Money,
|
||
Firepower, and Fear (1992).
