You want the toys, get the endorsement, job done. I'm sure an extra level of vetting is a good thing when concerning rifles of this nature.

The car argument hardly works as they aren't used or designed to commit mass killings, personally I couldn't care less if they restricted all civilian vehicles to 110km/h, they do it with trucks at 90 and buses at 100 in Europe. There is no "need" to go faster and "wanting" to isn't a good enough reason as it endangers others including the people who have to pick up your pieces lying on the road.

I don't use my guns to commit mass killings? So they're not used or designed for that. Look at the end result of what happens with the item, not a nebulous theoretical idea of what it was designed for. Fast cars going fast on public roads dangerously result in people dying. Pistol grips on a rifle result in... people having cool guns and enjoying using them?

The problem I have is with what this thread was started about: changing pistol grips back to E. it's bullshit emotive legislation based on fear of a cosmetic feature that has no actual benefit and is just going to inconvenience and cost law abiding firearms owners.
