A little "dated" but;
“This is the first step” – U.S. Representative Edward Feighan, referring to the Brady Bill (which he introduced) at recent House hearings. “We are going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessary – given the political realities – going to be very modest… So we’ll have to start working again to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen the next law, and maybe again and again. Right now though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf, but a slice. Our ultimate goal – total control of handguns in the United States – is going to take time… The first problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns being produced and sold in this country. The second problem is to get handguns registered. And the final problem is to make possession of all handguns and handgun ammunition – except for military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors – totally illegal.” – Pete Shields, Chairman Emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., (interview appearing in The New Yorker, July 26, 1976)
“This is not all we will have in future Congresses, but this is a crack in the door. There are too many handguns in the hands of citizens. The right to keep and bear arms has nothing to do with the Brady Bill.” – U.S. Representative Craig Washington, at the mark-up hearing on the Brady Bill, April 10, 1991.
“Handguns should be outlawed. Our organization will probably take this stand in time but we are not anxious to rouse the opposition before we get the other legislation passed.” – Elliot Corbett, Secretary, National Council For A Responsible Firearms Policy (interview appeared in the Washington Evening Star on September 19, 1969).
“It is our aim to ban the manufacture and sale of handguns to private individuals… the coalition’s emphasis is to keep handguns out of private possession – where they do the most harm.” Recruiting flyer currently distributed by The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, formerly called The National Coalition to Ban Handguns.
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban (on handguns).” – Pete Shields, Chairman Emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., during a 60 Minutes interview.
“We are at the point in time and terror where nothing short of a strong uniform policy of domestic disarmament will alleviate the danger which is crystal clear and perilously present. Let us take the guns away from the people. Exemptions should be limited to the military, the police, and those licensed for good and sufficient reasons. And I would look forward to the day when it would not be necessary for the policeman to carry a sidearm.” – Patrick V. Murphy, former New York City Police Commissioner, and now a member of Handgun Control’s National Committee, during testimony to the National Association of Citizens Crime Commissions.
“My experience as a street cop suggests that most merchants should not have guns. But I feel even stronger about the average person having them… most homeowners… simply have no need to own guns.” – Joseph McNamara, HCI spokesman, and former Chief of Police of San Jose, California.
“I don’t want to go for confiscation, but that is where we are going.” – Daryl Gates, Police Chief of Los Angeles, California.
“There may be other things that will happen later… It may not be the end… the bottom line is what we are seeking now is the Brady Bill.” – U.S. Representative Charles Schumer, interviewed on CNN Crossfire.
“The Brady Bill is the minimum step Congress should take… we need much stricter gun control, and eventually should bar the ownership of handguns, except in a few cases.” - U.S. Representative William Clay, quoted in the St. Louis Post Dispatch on May 6, 1991.
“It’s only the first step, it’s not going to be enough… we’ve got to go beyond that, and I hope we’ll do it this session of Congress.” - U.S. Representative Edward Feighan during an interview on ABC News Nightline.
Hope this helps a little.
