antifirearm
Against deadly weapons
Antifirearm describes opposition to firearms or gun ownership.
The term appears in political discourse, often from gun-rights advocates characterizing their opponents: antifirearm legislation, antifirearm activists.
Like many "anti-" compounds in contentious debates, it frames opposition as categorical rather than nuanced.
