You are what psychiatrists call a "hoplophobe". That's a person who
has an irrational fear of weapons. It's the hoplophobe we need to be
concerned about, not the switchblade collector. According to Freud:

"A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional
maturity." The wish is father to the fear, i.e. the fear of weapons
arises from an unconcious impulse or wish to do something
socially-unacceptable with them. This is combined with a lack of
mature coping mechanisms to deal with these feelings. Ever notice just
how angry and impulsive hoplophobes are."
