The minute we care about what the leftwing "progressive" LOONS (and that term is used here with a very strict definition we all understand) we lose. Never let them control the language. That said, I like Loony" spelled with and E...it just looks better to my eye.
As to O'Connor's ownership of the aficionado, meh. I remember there was a court case some years ago where someone thought their work had been improperly mimicked, and I think it was about a song but really don't recall. I DO recall what the judge said when finding for the defendant, though, because I thought it was classic: "the plantiff...does not own iambic pentameter." I suggest that O'Connor did not own the English language.
Whoever cannot handle "rifle loony" should go suck an egg. Even without the E.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
