gun-grabber
n.— «I read in the paper that John Kerry was out goose hunting trying to convince gun owners he isn’t a gun grabber. If Americans fall for that lie, our goose is cooked. Kerry has never had a positive vote for America’s gun owners or the Second Amendment.» —“Your Views: Presidential Campaign; How is America safer now?” by Jeramy Rich Daily Oklahoman (Oklohoma City) Oct. 29, 2004.
