Your attitude seems to meet the definition.

Yes, my worry (noticed how I changed the word so you don't jump to hoplophobia ) comes from the people who will use these weapons, not the weapons themselves.
So kindly focus your legal attention on people who use weapons illegally.

Why do you feel the need to carry a concealed weapon anyways?
Ah we're back to the old "prove you need it" argument again; I'm not going there. Without proving I need a fire extinguisher or a smoke alarm, I have them both because they are a sensible precaution in my judgement. So is exercising my right to carry arms for defense of myself and others, as the law clearly permits.

Why do *you* feel the need to disarm me? Are you projecting onto others your own fear that you can't control your anger, as your example suggests?
