The advocacy group that brought worldwide attention to the fact that an American company has been stamping biblical references on combat rifle sights used by the U.S. military said Thursday it hoped the damage done was not “beyond repair.”
Trijicon’s “outrageous practice” of stamping Christian references on rifle scopes used by the U.S. military “was an unconstitutional disgrace of the highest magnitude to our military and an action that clearly gave additional incentive and emboldenment to recruiters for our nation’s enemies,” Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) head Mikey Weinstein said, after Trijicon Inc. announced it would now stop the practice.
“It is nothing short of a vile national security threat that, despite our nation’s efforts to convince the Muslim world we are not pursuing a holy war against them, our military and its contractors time again resort to unlawful fundamentalist evangelical Christian practices, even on the battlefield,” Weinstein said in a message posted on the MRFF Web site.

Wow...what a coincidence! That’s how I lost mine. The meteor strikes are probably caused global warming.

Ironically, that's how a “Friend” of mine lost all of his Guns – something about melting ice or a flood.
Danny Glover could probably explain it all to us.

political correctness is a weapon that will be turned against us...
CROSShairs offend me, but only when I’m in them.
Ever notice that in professional rasslin' (the real thing, now what they have now) the "heels" never get mad at each other?
very good analogy!
If the private company that makes the rifles is stamping the references on the barrels, how is the government supposed to stop it?
Sounds like this lady has the vapors. Hope she has a sturdy fainting couch.
They are for sure, us not so much.
We even elected one of them President, and they still want us dead.
Thank you!
The eternal and blissful peace that always reigned among villainous thugs who each claimed to be "the greatest ath-a-lete of all time!" while feuding with babyfaces who made no such claims used to bother the menel outta me when I was a mark.
Do you think there's kayfabe in politics too? Maybe we're all marks!
I almost guarantee they will do this and the vendor will lose the contract.
But they will not cite Maj. Hassan’s Muslim terrorist connections nor will heads roll because of political correctness in the military.
But they will attack alleged extremism in the military if it is Christian and no one in government will think twice about doing so.
They are not starlight scopes. They have a set of crosshairs that light up without batteries.
In fact...this time the perp was not ACLU:
It wasn’t some idiot muzzie who kicked up this fuss, it was MICHAEL WEINSTEIN, from the very dishonestly named, “Military Religious Freedom Foundation”. http://wwww.mrff.org
He was a USAF J.A.G. puke who worked —of all people— for Ronald Reagan, then made some bucks in the private sector suing folks for Ross Perot. Then he retired at from 2006 and has for the past 4 years been waging Secular Jihad against men who treacherously fight muslim folks who throw acid on girls and say Jews are monkeys (don’t ask me).
Sounds crazy huh? He’s overweight, ugly, angry, and other bad stuff —things you can see from the news broadcast clips he has at his website:

Yes, while we are out trying to head off armageddon or widespread terror, this guy choses to focus on stuff that’s written on rifles. Yes.
You know that this is one of those “groups” that just has one member.
Maybe one should place the scope on the “Reaper”

Introducing the ultimate reaper.

The unique LWRCI™ Rapid Engagement Precision Rifle (REPR) is a full spectrum weapon system designed to put devastating 7.62mm NATO rounds on target in a variety of roles. The REPR rifle allows a marksman to perform assaulter duty with the 12” barreled upper installed, and quickly switch to a sniper role simply by changing to the 20” barreled upper. The extra upper receiver assembly can be carried in a backpack and takes up less room and weighs less than carrying a separate rifle.
