I was just reviewing a video clip where an anti-gun group says that pistol grips on AR-15s are especially dangerous, because "they allow guns to be fired from the hip."
OK, so what is it about firing from the hip that scares the anti-gunners? I know that the Hollywood image of a Rambo firing from the hip is a vivid (but fictional) image, but it seems to me that the anti-gunners should applaud anyone who wants to fire from the hip. After all, it's not like it would be especially ACCURATE fire.
Beside,s I can fire "frim the hip" with a standard stock, too. In an earlier era, there were GOOD guys in movies firing M-1 Garands and BARs from the hip.
Overall, I guess "firing from the hip" is just another slogan that can be mindlessly repeated, as if it is a powerful argument, but in fact it's just hot air.
Here's the link:

BTW: This clip also points out that the Beltway Bushwackers used an AR-15. Does anyone recall that they fired SINGLE SHOTS, so any bolt action rifle would have suited their purposes?
I know, I know. I'm looking for logic, and the anti-gunners' arguments are not rooted in logic.
