You do see gun control advocates arguing for banning basic handguns and single-shot hunting rifles.
The Brady organization comes from a political predecessor literally named "Handgun Control Inc." That was the push several decades ago.
Here's Gabby Giffords advocating for banning all guns just a couple weeks ago: https://time.com/6274979/gabby-giffords-gun-control/ https://time.com/6274979/gabby-giffords-gun-control/
- NickC25 3y agoI completely understand why Gabby wants all guns banned. I was on my way to that specific Safeway on that day when it happened. Everyone who had any connection to Pima CC knew Loughner was a psycho with some major mental illnesses. it would be so much easier if someone who is clearly troubled and has a history of anti-social behavior not be allowed to own an excessive amount of firearms. Most gun owners don't want to give up their guns. Most gun owners also don't want some deranged lunatic with severe mental illnesses shooting up a supermarket parking lot.
- aksss 3y ago> [opinions] In this context, the important take away is acknowledging and incorporating the idea that the larger gun control movement didn’t start with semi-autos and it doesn’t end there. Anyone who has been involved in this arena for enough time, or otherwise sufficiently familiar with the history of the gun control inclination, is incredulous listening to someone say, “we only want this one thing.”[1] It’s a non-starter.
