Patriarmosexual
A person who is romantically and/or sexually attracted exclusively (or near-exclusively) to American-designed and American-manufactured firearms and artillery systems.
Aesthetic triggers: The particular rake of a carry handle, the texture of mil-spec anodizing, the satisfying heft of a free-float handguard, the chord of a .50 BMG report, the smell of CLP mixed with cosmoline on a surplus M1 Garand, or the majestic silhouette of a howitzer in battery position.
Emotional component: Many patriarmosexuals report feeling "protected," "empowered," or "in a consensual power exchange" with the weapon. There's often a deep patriotic layer — attraction is heightened by the idea that the object was designed by Americans, for Americans, under the spiritual umbrella of the 2nd Amendment.
Differentiation from regular gun enthusiasts: A regular gun owner might love shooting. A patriarmosexual feels genuine longing, butterflies, or arousal when handling, maintaining, or simply being in the presence of qualifying American iron. They might name their firearms, talk to them, or experience "post-cleaning intimacy" after a thorough field strip and lubrication.
"My attraction is valid and stems from a deep need for reliable mechanical consent and constitutional compatibility."

Patriarmosexuals argue endlessly online about whether a foreign-designed-but-U.S.-made gun (e.g., certain Sig Sauer models) "counts."
Patriarmosexuals ating profiles mention "must be cool with safe queen time" or "no foreign steel in the bedroom."
Patriarmosexuals pride variants include subtle American flag + bullet iconography, or a rainbow version with red-white-blue instead of standard colors.
Patriarmosexual "Coming out" stories usually involve showing their family their first quality AR build or taking them to a machine gun shoot.
