VPC has ALWAYS called for a total ban.

Are you sure? I was under the impression that they had tempered their message to the "reasonable licensing and registration" song and dance.

Aren't they in cahoots with Brady now?

VPC - Total Ban, always has been.
Coalition to Stop Gun Violence - ALSO a total ban. They changed their name from "National Coalition to Ban Handguns" but still wants a ban.
"CSGV supports a ban on the importation, manufacture, sale and transfer of handguns and assault weapons, with reasonable exceptions for police, military, security personnel, gun clubs, and antique and collectable firearms stored in inoperable condition. Hunting weapons, such as shotguns and rifles, would be unaffected by these bans."

Brady Campaign - Formerly HCI. Pete Shields called for a ban a long time ago. They currently deny publically that they want a total ban. They do want a ban on 'assault weapons', 'saturday night specials' and want att generals to have total control over them, and to sue the gun manufacturers.........everything but. They were NOT renamed from the coalition to ban handgunes. That is CSGV. That doesn't mean they don't want one though.....
