Question about the guns forum

Is the terms "hoplophobe or hoplophile" subject to the same range of restrictions as the term "gun nut"is?

My advice is to hit alert and see what the moderators do.

"hoplophobe or hoplophile" : Never heard those words before....are they derived from "Hop-Along-Cassidy"?...are they derogatory words aimed at my childhood hero?

A hoplophobe is a person who is afflicted with an irrational fear of firearms.

From Hoplite - the Greek citizen heavy infantryman, who was responsible to supply his own armor and weapons, his 'Panoply' - I believe.

Maybe they come from Hoppe's powder solvent. I use the stuff just because I like how it smells.
