According to U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell’s belief that the pistol grip is dangerous (“A Dunce Talks Gun Confiscation,” July, p. 68), I’m terribly afraid my blow dryer has an awfully dangerous pistol grip. In fact, I know it does. Sometimes what it does of its own volition to my hair is absolutely life-threatening! And the pistol grip at my local do-it-yourself car wash? Watch out! I’m afraid Swalwell’s world is terribly small to not recognize the preponderance of pistol grips on everyday items out there in the real world.
