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". See also: List of phobias
