When you make it harder for law abiding citizens to defend themselves you end up with more dead law abiding citizens.

Claimed an assault rifle is whatever the legislature defined it to be. Makes sense since gender is defined by the legislature.

That's true. The problem with lawmakers is that they always change their minds. I grew up in California and watched lawmakers constantly redefining what was it was legal to own in that state. Every time the wrote a new gun law they turned law abiding people into criminals.

The true criminals are politicians who do not care about violating our inalienable right to self defense with is what is enumerated in the 2nd Amendment.

Feel ya.

This moron defined an assault rifle as "any semi-automatic rifle with a magazine that fires a round larger than a .22"

But when asked in Senate hearings by LA Senator John Kennedy what an "assault weapon" he couldn't answer. He sat there looking confused and could never answer. He just stumbled over his words trying to say how other people have defined it but he could not answer the question.

It's hoplophobe, and hoplophobia. FYI

But in the context of that sentence "haplophobic" is how you would describe some one with haplophobia or who is a haplophobe.

Hoplophobia, hoplo (weapons, armaments) phobos (fear)
Haphephobia haptophobia haptephobia ..., hear of touching, being touched

Haplophobia is a word that simply does not exist. Therefore, haplophobic describes nothing. Haplophobe has as much meaning as typing any random string of characters hg¨¥¡£©ø¨¥´∑∫¬ˆœh2uqyg3 .

Haptophobia is a thing. The fear of being touched.

Are you trying to invent a neologism, running two words together? The fear of touching guns? The fear of being pistol whipped?

Oh...... I see what I did wrong.... It was a spelling error. I hadn't noticed that in you previous comments. Sorry about that. "Hoplophobic" is the word I should have used. Yes it is a fear of armaments of any kind. I am unaware of any word that describes specifically a fear of firearms. But in today's age the most common armament is a firearm or knife. There's not too many swords, battle axes, maces, trebuchets, catapults, etc being used for anything these days.

I suppose that most anything that you can kill someone with could be called an armament, including your car, baseball bat, fist, foot, hammer, rock, and so on.

Also a phobia is not just a fear but an irrational fear and that is exactly how I mean it when I used that word (even if it was misspelled). Many on the left have an irrational fear of firearms. Their biggest fear they are trained to have is of the so-called "assault" weapons. Even though "assault" is a verb, not an adjective. In the list of things people use to commit murder, rifles (of any kind) is way down on the list. Knives, fists and feet are way above rifles on the list of the most commonly used weapon. Handguns are either at the top or near the top of the list.

It should also be known that all firearms are used 2.5 times more to prevent a crime than to commit a crime. And that is just the cases that were reported to the police. Most of the time if a person just brandishes a gun the would-be criminal runs away and nothing is ever reported.

So all of the complaints about firearms coming from the left are bogus at best and dangerous at worst because they only seek to punish the law abiding.
