how is pistol grip preventing crime exactly? My brain hurts.

Hopefully we don't have Samantha lee deciding if our firearms have a "military" appearance or not.

No, and i wont need to because i will never have ten or more firearms. 8 or 9 is the most i will ever have.
If you have 10 guns and your safe doesn't meet these requirements i think you're a bit complacent anyway. Again, these requirements are the same for most other states, anyway.
