SNIP
Some Americans are unfortunately afflicted by hoplophobia, the unnatural fear of guns, which causes them to lose all common sense in public policy discussion about the right to bear arms. This fear may or may not be treatable by gun range therapy and other measures.
But a new phobia that has arisen over the last few years that afflicts some elected officials: pistolgriphobia, the unnatural fear of pistol grips on otherwise ordinary long guns. . . .
TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; News/Current Events; US: District of Columbia

News column highlights DC's new ban on pistol grips as irrational public policy demanding congressional intervention.

I sent a CETME pistol grip to a state rep. in another state.
He took it to the statehouse and “menaced” the chamber with it to show how stupid they were L0L
