Of gunsights and bible quotes
 

:dead:

Religious moralists manage to surprise me time and again.

Idiotic. Simply that. When a soldier gives his rifle a name, or a ordnance crew loading bobms on a plane writes something sarcastic with chalk on a bomb, than that is one thing. If a manufacturer thinks he must spread religious propagande as a factory settingy encraving it on his weapons by default, then this is something different.

If I were the defense ministries, I would sue them for financial compensation equal the value of all gunsights delivered in these 30 years, plus contract violation fees.

Looks like they're simply spreading the word of God to the disbelievers :DL

Yea saw this the other day and found it to be hilarious on so many levels but not really worth posting about.

Eh, I mean, does it really hurt anything? It's not like they can't just file the letters off anyways.

They should have chosen Matthew 26:52

"Then saith Jesus to him, 'Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish"


I suspect Mikey Weinstein's quote is on the money:

They would have been better off with something that had Zeiss or Bushnell engraved on it.

Hmm... A multi use gun... to study bible stuff,and kill someone at the same time... lol

:shifty:

Praise the lord and pass the ammunition!


(sorry, couldn't resist making at least one wisecrack)

Personally I doubt most of my fellow Americans would care one way or the other.

All i care about.

is there a firearm in my side table drawer?

is it capable of being childproofed?

does it have stopping power?

when i squeeze the trigger will a projectile leave the barrel at high velocity and strike the approximate area at which the firearm was pointed?

if the answer is yes to all of those questions, i can protect my family far better than any federal, state or local law enforcement agency can.

I'm surprised the bible thumpers haven't come forward and bitched about putting coded references to biblical passages on weapons.

It does bug me, but that's because i don't have better things to worry about. I know that when i was in the service, my attitude would have been along the lines of, "I don't have time worry about this stupid bullschitt". People in the states, and servicemen oversea's live in two different realities. They're probably more worried about the basics of life. We're as we are secure in the basics of life, so we look at more lofty crap instead.

My only question would be whether it was a serviceable piece of equipment. If anything I would have appreciated the blasphemy of putting bible verses on weapons of war.

Hah !!! excellent point !!!

I'm sure that out there somewhere exactly that is in the works.

yea, now tomorrow...
