Man.
That is awesome.
Is this the same guy who was selling the .303(?) brass? I note he's from Australia...and funny.

Always nice to see the term hoplophobe used.

 

[Gunsnrovers]

Yeah, he may have to much time on his hands, but then again we're the ones online browsing forums....

 

[homeka45]

Sent him an email describing him as a brilliant hoplophile. This guy should be writing comedy. Oh I forgot, there are probably no pro-gun comedians.

Before anyone bids as a joke...

note that S&H is $150.00

I love the line..."Laugh and the world laughs at you, cry and I'll give you something to cry about"

Funny, my ex's mom used to tell her the same thing. Wonder how cultures use the same canned phrases 1/2 way 'round the world. Maybe moms are the same everywhere.

Ok, it's dumb ol' hillbilly time... hoplophobe? Wazzat?

 

[possenti]

hoplophobe?

I think this term was "invented" by Jeff Cooper.

It is someone who has the irrational fear of weapons - firearms in particular.

Thank you, oh great patron saint of guns... (yeah, I was raised catlic)...

Hoplophobia

Hoplophobia (pronounced HOP-li-fobia), from the Greek hoplon, or weapon, is an invented phobia coined by firearms instructor Colonel Jeff Cooper in 1962. His intent was to attempt to gain clinical recognition of the irrational fear of firearms. He suggested that "the most common manifestation of hoplophobia is the idea that instruments possess a will of their own, apart from that of their user".

 

[Steelharp]

So... would Hoppeslophobia be fear of gun cleaning?
