Loony sounds perfect to me. As 2mp stated it is probably an evolution of a term from in between the wars. Sounds good to me!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

How many times have we heard someone refered to as a car, or some other collector of something, Junkie? Does that insinuate they are all on drugs? After all all drug users are junkies are they not? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Furthermore as an ex Wisconsinite and still die hard Packer fan you hit the nail on the head in your reply to the first complaint. I'm not certain some of those Packer fans aren't on something and it is a cinch some are "Loony". No doubt many of the same folks who complain about the term "Rifle Loony" would also think these fans all have an IQ of 140!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Keep up your same vocabulary. It will always fit us true rifle lovers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
