Hoplophobes Plan Treachery

 I don't carry a knife. However, I hardly begrudge those who do. Carry two dozen blades if you want. That's downright cool.

 Why am I not afraid? Because I have no plans or desire to defect on random strangers. I don't even want to be rude to them. They will have no need to defend themselves from me, thus I don't have to worry about their weapons. 

 

 Hoplon, weapon, hoplite, warrior. Hoplophobe typically refers to specifically a fear of guns. "The most common manifestation of hoplophobia is the idea that instruments possess a will of their own, apart from that of their user." 

 However, it is not truly an irrational fear. The belief that the weapon has a will of its own is known as a [lie]. An excuse.  

 Toxic masculinity is especially toxic to traitorous deviants. Parasites can't be afraid of the host, they need the host, they afraid of a host's defences. Criminals live in agonizing fear of these poisons.
