false. at least depending on where one lives. In Texas, it might be real easy to get a gun, but not NYC. Welfare in NYC or Chicago is alot easier than getting a gun.

BS. TANF requires not only registration, but showing of need, that people accept jobs, that single parents work at least a certain number of hours, and regulates a number of other factors like childcare options and so on. NYC requires a permit and registration, but no need to show need or any other restrictions to have a gun at home.

VPC, LCAV, Brady Campaign, etc. All of these groups started out wanting the elimination of handguns for citizen ownership, unless you were military or law enforcement. Their public face may have changed, but their ultimate goal is banning private gun ownership. To think anything different is either completely naive or intellectual dishonesty.

First of all that is false, at least regarding the Brady campaign.
Again, as i said: "I am not aware of any significant position within the gun control movement that favors the complete elimination of gun ownership."
If that is "intellectual dishonesty," prove it. Show me one
significant group that openly advocates for the complete elimination of gun ownership. If that is based on nothing more on what you think they would do in the future depending on how things go blahblahblah, then it would be obvious who is being intellectually dishonest here.
