Hoplophobia

...find ways to use it in conversation

Hoplophobia is an irrational and morbid fear of guns, a term coined by Jeff Cooper, from Greek hoplites, weapon. Symptoms may include discomfort, disorientation, rapid pulse, sweating, faintness and more, at the mere sight or even thought of guns. Hoplophobes are common and should never be involved
in setting gun policies, though many are hard at work in the rights-denial movement, and are arguably the greatest threat in the debate. Point out hoplophobic behavior when you see it, it is dangerous, and sufferers deserve pity. A hoplophobe (HOP-li-fobe) can often be cured by training, or by a day at the range.

Sorry pmspinnerb8.
At least I know I'm not the only one.

We all suffer thos symptoms when we look at buying but I believe this relates to the hatred of them. I just thought I would post it due to who made the quote

Hoplophile would mean liking them right ? Hoplophobe is someone who is afraid and therefore hates them..right ?
