Hoplophobic? On my crowded desk in front of me is a busted pair of grips to a .38 special (I am carving new ones from pecan wood) and a CETME bayonet. (I carved a bayonet lug onto a walking stick for a marine cousin-in-law as a surprise for Christmas). I have a M1 leaning against the wall and some kind of cheap nylon semiauto .22 here too. My collection is upstairs. I have been hunting for 46 years and started by shooting a squirrel with a .22 when I was 5. I've hunted alone since I was 11. I got my first shotgun when I was 12. My daughter was captain of the rifle team. My wife just took second place (due to a good handicap) at the municipal gun club, and my son got a Kimber .45 for graduation. I have a C&R license too.
Yeah, I have a fear of weapons.
As I stated to another poster, this attitude is a "free for me but not for thee" attitude.
Abiding by laws legally passed presupposes those laws are based off the Supreme Law. Gun control laws are almost universally unConstitutional.
