What good are quotes?  Actions count.

HCI actively supports hundgun bans at all levels of government as well as
bans against other guns.  They support restrictions as well as this makes
it a lot easier to come back later and eventually ban guns.  When the bans
are done incrementally a lot of people never notice.  They do seem to often
try to avoid biting off more than they can chew.  They are organized.
