I have recently started using the term "disarmenter". It was derived from a combination of disarm and demented.
Tomkat, on freerepublic, suggested that the term disarmist was less clumsy and easier to use. Which do you think would be the better term?

Disarm and Demented. I suspected the term was a combination of Disarm and Torment, since I first saw you use it in the post about the MDA goon tormenting the OC guy in the gas station.
ReplyDeleteDisarmoron is more apt.
ReplyDeleteDisarmoron would be a little more apt.
ReplyDeleteI like Disarmunist. It has a certain ring of truth to it.
ReplyDeleteDean, I call them "bansters." Although Jeff Cooper's classical-sounding neologism works, too: "hoplophobes."
