Look at the quote you posted, it doesn't even say anything like it.
Now if that quote said all guns then you might have a point, if it said all guns without exceptions then you definately would have a point, but it certainly doesn't say that, so all you are left with in that link is that single quote from a nobody in Florida.
This quote?

We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal.
-Nelson Shields, Handgun Control (later Brady Campaign) Founder
I would say that the founder of HCI was hardly a nobody. His statement reflects accurately what I've heard from other HCI/Brady members.
