hopolophobes:

Origin of the term

American firearms expert and marine colonel Jeff Cooper coined the word in 1962 to denigrate and anger proponents of gun control by claiming that their thoughts were "aberrant" and unreasoning:

"I coined the term "hoplophobia" in 1962 in response to a perceived need for a word to describe a mental aberration consisting of an unreasoning terror of gadgetry, specifically, weapons. The most common manifestation of hoplophobia is the idea that instruments possess a will of their own, apart from that of their user. This is not a reasoned position, but when you point this out to a hoplophobe he is not impressed because his is an unreasonable position. To convince a man that he is not making sense is not to change his viewpoint but rather to make an enemy. Thus hoplophobia is a useful word, but as with all words, it should be used correctly."[2]

The term was constructed from the Greek ?p??? - hoplon, meaning, amongst other things, "arms," and f?ß?? - phobos, meaning "fear."[7] Cooper employed the term as just another alternative to other slang terms, stating: "We read of 'gun grabbers' and 'anti-gun nuts' but these slang terms do not [explain this behavior]." Cooper attributed this behavior to an irrational fear of firearms and other forms of weaponry, with no evidence for this attribution. Cooper's conjecture was that "the most common manifestation of hoplophobia is the idea that instruments possess a will of their own, apart from that of their user."[2] Writing in an opinion piece, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review columnist Dimitri Vassilaros said that the term was intended by Cooper as tongue-in-cheek to mock those who think guns have free will.[1]

hoplophobe
A person who is afflicted with an irrational fear of firearms.
Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer are classic examples of hoplophobes, whose blatant disregard for the U.S. Constitution would make our Founding Fathers roll in their collective graves.

‘We got rid of 21 terrorists with 1 bullet’

(Express) – The crack soldier fired a bullet designed to inflict massive damage from three quarters of a mile away and scored a direct hit on the extremist.

His rifle was so high-powered that the bullet decapitated the bearded warrior, who stood well over six feet tall.

Some 20 ISIS recruits saw the precision killing and fled
The fearsome recruiter for ISIS, also known as Dash, was gunned down in the middle of a drill teaching new soldiers how to execute prisoners.

Military sources said he was demonstrating a cutting motion with his arm when the bullet hit.

Some 20 junior fighters were taking part in the outdoor lesson when their commander was killed before their eyes.


One military witness said the entire group fled in terror and deserted the jihadi cause, a source told the Daily Star Sunday.

The sniper, operating in northern Syria, used a Dan .338 rifle with ammo that “tumbles” which it hits a target – inflicting a huge wound.

He had to aim more than a foot wide of the mark to adjust for wind conditions, but hit his target first time.

Suppressing equipment meant that flashes and noise from the shot were kept to a minimum and the soldier went undetected.

Although the British Army has steered clear of an all-out ground war with ISIS, highly-trained SAS squads have been deployed in small numbers.

Recently it emerged that troops were setting desert death traps for jihadis by laying out dummies dressed as enemy officers.

The victorious British sniper was supported in his mission by more than a dozen SAS comrades.

Two four-man teams sneaked into a jihadi compound to set up their vantage point 12 hours ahead of the kill.

Meanwhile a secondary team of 12 waited beyond the combat zone ready to extract the men in case the mission went wrong.

Sources say the sniper’s target was an easy mark because he wears white robes instead of the traditional ISIS black.

One military insider said: “One minute he was standing there and the next his head had exploded.

“The commander remained standing upright for a couple of seconds before collapsing and that’s when panic set in.

“We later heard most of the recruits deserted. We got rid of 21 terrorists with one bullet.”

Wish I had a video of that!
