Several people have asked me about the organization Handgun Control, Inc., so I am posting some information about it. It was started by Pete Shields, a former hunter and gun owner, after his son was shot to death by one of the so-called "Zodiac" killers in San Francisco. He studied firearms legislation and decided that an effective national gun control law would be a good thing. It currently has about a million members. It is "a non-profit citizen's organization working to pass federal law to keep handguns out of the wrong hands." You can get more information by writing Handgun Control, Inc. 1400 K Street, NW Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 or calling (202) 898-0792. Ask for their brochure, "Handgun facts". Another organization working towards similar goals is the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. If anyone is interested, I will also post their address. /Jeff Shallit University of Chicago
