HOPLOPHILIA 

A sexual fetish involving arousal from firearms, their use, or association with those who carry them, like police or security guards.

Many gun enthusiasts reveal a deeper pathology, their hoplophilia, when they post high volumes of photographs of their weapons instead of their partners, spouses or lovers.

n. Irrational, morbid fear of guns (coined by Col. Jeff Cooper, from the Greek "hoplites," weapon). May cause sweating, faintness, discomfort, rapid pulse, nausea, sleeplessness, more, at mere thought of guns. Hoplophobes are common and should never be involved in setting gun policies. Point out hoplophobic behavior when noticed, it is dangerous, sufferers deserve pity, and should seek treatment. When confronted, hoplophobes typically go into denial, a common characteristic of the affliction. Often helped by training, or by coaching at a range, a process known to psychiatry as "desensitization," often useful in treating many phobias. Also: Hoplophobe, hoplophobic.
