Of gunsights and bible quotes

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

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:

I don't have to wonder for a nanosecond how the American
public would react if citations from the Koran were being inscribed
onto these US armed forces gunsights instead of New Testament citations,

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

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.

Ducimus · 01-19-10, 07:19 PM

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.

It's kind of weird, if they want to spread the gospel, i don't know.. they should give bibles to the soldiers or something like that. Bible says you are not allowed to kill. Putting bible things into weapons...
