I could put a pistol grip on one of my double guns, too and paint it black as well...

You're aware of where the term came from, right?

I had something similar happen with my rabidly anti-gun sister in law.

She was talking about how bad those evil assault weapons were and I got my mini14 with the wood stock and 5 round mag out of the safe and asked her if this was a rifle that was OK to own. She reluctantly said yes. I set it on the table, took out a small screwdriver and popped out the trigger group. Then, while she was still watching, I went to the safe and got out a Choate folding pistol grip stock, put the receiver in it and inserted the trigger group. I added a 30 round mag, and then asked her what made this rifle that she was looking at now any more dangerous than the exact rifle she was looking at 2 minutes ago. It was the exact same rifle, it just looked different. Naturally, she didn't have an answer.

Sometimes you just have to beat them at their own game.

How I wish it wouldn't look stupid to do that ON THE SPOT when explaining to the uninitiated. It's amazing how being uninitiated doesn't keep people from being opinionated.
