Treatment of Hoplophobia
The first step in overcoming Hoplophobia is to speak with your doctor for referral to a mental health specialist. This specialist will be able to provide support and determine the best method to help you recover and regain control of your life. Some common treatment options include hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and energy psychology. Therapies using pictures of firearms to help desensitize the patient is typically a first step to conquer the phobia gradually. Medications can also be administered to help a patient over come phobia during therapy sessions. Whichever treatment option you choose, know that you are on your way to living a healthy, normal life.

We have the right to kill to defend life. In some places, to defend property as well. Death should be avoided, however. I believe a shot to the leg is effective in most cases. So are tasers and mace.
However, the second is exclusively for tyrannical govts. Not hunting, not collecting, not plinking.
History shows us the govt life cycle inevitably ends in tyranny. Please don't ask for examples. You said you were intellectual. (Respect.)

Interesting. I have access to some propranolol. Maybe I can cure myself.

I never advocated for taking your rights away. I just said you're a coward if you need one.
How do you know I haven't been robbed. How can you assume my life story?
Governments certainly do but I doubt the US will any times soon... Regardless what Alex Jones says...

Here's some pic that will help desensitize you from the gun. Maybe all the rest of us should turn this thread into a desensitization zone for you and post all the guns we can?
I'll start with this!
Does this help with your Hoplophobia? maybe more members should post more pics to help you with your Hoplophobia?

Tell that to the 120 lbs women who defends herself with her gun from a 200 lbs rapist.
Why is this woman in this situation? Should have used her brain instead of relying on a gun.
Tell that to the elderly man or woman who can't physically compete with young and strong thugs.
HA! This almost never happens but it's a good sob story to use.
Tell that to the many victims of home invasions who have had to defend themselves with guns to prevent being killed by multiple attackers.
I posted some numbers early. This does not happen very often. It's almost a non-concern if you're not pushing drugs or expensive product out of your house.
All those people are cowards for needing a gun eh?
Yes?

So your right to kill from the government? I know some countries treat defense different. There was a thread around here from Norway???? A person killed a robber in defense of their home and was sentence to a longer prison term than the robbers.

Let's discuss defending against a tyrannical government for a moment, even though I think we're a long way off from a liberty spring here in the US. I really don't see a win happening against the US military. The tyrannical government will likely be beaten back with information rather than violence.

Just about every insurgency (successful or not) has had the insurgents, armed only with small arms (rifles and such) fighting against a mechanized army. Viet Cong vs American military, Afghans' vs Soviet. Tito vs the Germans, Al-CIAduh/ISIS vs NATO. British vs the colonists, etc. etc. Insurgencies are usually long and drawn out affairs and the insurgents usually are quite crafty.

I would only try to disable. But if we're only talking hypothetical...
I think it would probably be okay to kill if I was held against my will for an extensive period in a dark dungeon. If I was tortured or raped that may increase my incentive to seek some sort of retribution.
