Are gun-owners "paranoid"... or is the opposition mad in a slightly different manner?
my own personal "paranoia"

In keeping with my normal tendency to practice meidcine, amongst other things, w/o a licence, I'll say that the grabbers are engaged in projection.
projection \pre-jek-shen\ noun (1557)
6 b : the attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people or to objects; esp : the externalization of blame, guilt, or responsibility as a defense against anxiety
(C) Merriam-Webster, Incorporated

They left quickly.
Drove backwards down the long driveway.
Left a dust trail.
Never came back.

yes, that stands to reason, but is too general for my tastes.

"Hoplomisophia" That's it! You are absolutely correct. They are not "afraid" of guns, they "hate" guns.

"too general"The case is specific though, so there is no mistake about what the projection implies. The paranoia, I would say is mixed with some rational fear, because some of them know damn well they intend dictatorship. The 'toon family, Feinsteins, Daleys, Schumers, ect know this. Her ankleness is a domestic waiting to happen. She's the one that was on the tube ranting about the vast right wing conspiracy. That's a blatent display of paranoia. She's also the one that was on the tube whining in a screaming, shrill and otherwise extremely obnoxious voice, "I'm sick and tired of...blaming this admin...blah, blah, blah". Crazy _itch! Hysterical personality if ever their was one.
Anyway the only fear and paranoia is in their minds, not the ones they are trying to disarm. The ones they are trying to disarm have a firm grasp on reality.

"Hoplomisophia" It was Colonel Jeff Cooper who first observed the strange doings of the hoplophobes, perhaps at a time when that disturbed malady was more common than outright hatred. Later, the late Finnish researcher and writer P.T. Kekkonen more accurately noted the change in the weather. Certainly one term or the other may apply in some cases, and both in others, sadly more common now.
But whether or not such distressed creatures should be allowed the full range of responsibilities as those of us in more complete command of our emotions and psyches seems unreasonable; certainly they should not be entrusted with public offices until they've been treated and hopefully cured. But it's clear that many of our public policies come from sources that are emotionally or mentally disabled or corrupt, and this would seem to be one common likely source.
I just refined the term a little and pointed out examples of where it's certainly applicable.

Only trained, responsible government agents need guns.
Ordinary civilians who feel a need to have guns are clearly paranoid.

I had assumed he meant Fineswine and UpChuckie being nervous about the AWB actually making it to the sunset date and expiring, but perhaps I projected my disdain for the grabbers onto the poster's actual intent.

out of curiosity, what is the worldwide body count of citizens/civilians murdered by organs of their own states over the last 100 years?
100,000,000?
150,000,000??
200,000,000???
More?

Liberals don't seem to realize that criminals do not either.
