<p>Hoplophobia - fear of weapons, specifically firearms </p>
<p>All those liberal gun control people hate them. They don't know that legal gun owners are more law-abiding than those who do not.</p>
<p>Guns are all too common and would be as easy to get as marijuana even when all guns are legally outlawed. And with nobody with shotguns to defend their homes, burglars are going to have a field day.</p>

<p>Nope. That's what's great about America. (But really, I'm not a communist. I just like the word "proletariat". For some reason, it reminds me of cowboys.) And communists love their guns. How else would they kill the capitalists?</p>
<p>That’s from The Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson. A couple on the list are not documented phobias but simply jokes, i.e. hippopotamonstrosesquipedaliaphobia.
Also by Gary is luposlipophobia, the fear of being chased by timber wolves while wearing socks on a freshly waxed floor.</p>
<p>Someone on here mentioned they have emetophobia (fear of vomit/vomiting).
I have that too.
Lol @ all the wisecracks. “There’s nothing to fear but fear itself, phobias are what you make it, blah blah blah.”
Let’s just accept that some things are scary to certain people and move on.</p>
