PAC: National Handgun Control Voter Education Fund
Membership: 190,000 dues-paying members. HCI claims 1,000,000+
members, but this includes contacts by interested parties by any means.
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 CPHV is located at 1400 K Street, N.W., Suite 500,

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:
American Association of Suicidology

Headquarters: Box 72
110 Maryland Avenue, N.E.
Washington, DC 20002
Telephone: (202) 544-7227
Director: Josh Horwitz
Incorporated in 1978 as an "educational" spin-off to the Coalition to
Stop Gun Violence, the EFEHV is supported by private donations and
foundation grants. The fund distributes anti-gun "research" on handgun
violence, firearms marketing and production, and firearms design.
The Violence Policy Center (VPC)
Headquarters: 1300 N Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20005
Telephone: (202) 783-4071
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).
