Hopophobia

[Gedunk]

Ran across this term today and I find it a perfect word to describe the insanity on the political left:

Hopophobia as a “mental disturbance characterized by irrational aversion to weapons.” Colonial Cooper, who created this term, stated that people who suffer from the fear of firearms stems from the manifestation that the weapons have a will of their own, apart from the user.

Also very common among gun owners and the political right, incidentally.

I dont know maybe he was meant fear of hope? That's the left too. Lol

Far be it from me to make fun of spelling errors.

Gedunk,

What REALLY "gets on my coffee nerves" is the MORONS who want to talk about what I "need".
(For example, the SENILE OLD FOOL, that currently infests the WH, thinks NOBODY needs to own anything but a 12 gauge double-barrel shotgun or perhaps a .38 SPL revolver.)

All that is (or should be) important in a FREE SOCIETY is what a FREE CITIZEN WANTS to buy & CAN AFFORD to buy/own.
(I know a wealthy gentleman in Northern VA who owns everything from a number of TSMG to several tanks to a fully-functional MIG23, that he flies often all over the USA.)

just my OPINON, satx

I’m gonna pass on ever using this term for $O Alex!

 

[Dawico]

I remember reading his articles referring to Hopolophobes years ago. Loved the term then and still do.

Think his articles were the first time I heard the term Sheeple too. Another favorite.

 

[Haystack]

I have a rational aversion to people who have an irrational aversion to weapons.

 

[Dougw1515]

In case anyone was wondering - Hoo, boy! is the rednek equivalent to <sigh>

Actually a friend in an online chat community I'm in is named hoplophile and that's how I came to the understanding of the term. Hoplon -- armaments -- hoplite -- person with arms

It is my right to be a hopolite!
