@MontereyJack,
If the motive for trying to ban pistol grips on long guns is not "the joy that leftists get from violating people's civil liberties" then what is the real motivation for trying to ban pistol grips on long guns?
You can distract and lie and bluff and deflect all you want, but you can't provide any motivation for banning pistol grips on long guns other than "the joy that leftists get from violating people's civil liberties".
