It's not a surprise that the USCCB would be in favor of banning all private gun ownership, considering that we're in a phase where pacifism is touted as the answer to evil in the world. One would think that they'd consider what's happened in England since private ownership of hanguns has been disallowed.
And of course, with the situation in Tucson, again, it's guns that kill people, not people that kill people.
Read about it (about halfway down) in the news brief from Catholic News Service :
