hoplophobia
n. Irrational, morbid fear of guns (coined by Col. Jeff Cooper, from the Greek “hoplites,” weapon).
May cause sweating, faintness, discomfort, rapid pulse, nausea, sleeplessness, more, at mere thought of guns. Hoplophobes are common and should never be involved in setting gun policies.
Point out hoplophobic behavior when noticed, it is dangerous, sufferers deserve pity, and should seek treatment. When confronted, hoplophobes typically go into denial, a common characteristic of the affliction.
Often helped by training, or by coaching at a range, a process known to psychiatry as “desensitization,” often useful in treating many phobias. Also: Hoplophobe, hoplophobic.
“The person had hoplophobia and passed out at the mere sight of a gun.”

....hoplophobia...
A serious mental illness manifested primarily in Democrats and other liberals.
The only cure is a mugging or other potentially deadly assault on the person suffering from the condition. This sometimes cures the illness.
