What do you think they ment by the reference ?

How is this verse ( jn8:12 ) relevent to a gun ?

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life

Rich, taking your question at face value....
I think there is no connection between the verse and the weapon. It is simply another Jesus' saying that He is the exclusive way to God.
You either accept that, and believe it, or you don't.

The idea in past years that Jesus was just a great moral teacher fails miserable when you examine His teachings. He either was what He claimed--the only Way to God, or He was not, and in that case you are left with Him as either a liar or a lunatic.

when the 5.56 goes through the jihadist's skull at supersonic speed, he will truly walk in the darkness.....

It’s not and it was not ever meant to be! The founder of the company was a devout Christian and liked biblical verse. The people who initially raised the issue are anti-religious fascists who are looking for publicity and a fund raising meal ticket.

The sights in question are compact telescopic sights with tritium illuminated reticle patterns for use in low light or at night the references relate to the illuminative function that the tritium imparts to the sighting system, hence the name Trijicon Brilliant Aiming Systems! The reality is that for people engaged in combat arms they thank whatever God they believe in or whomever else might be responsible for every advantage they have to prevail over an enemy that would if given even the smallest opportunity take their lives in that contest.

The biblical verses in question all refer to "light", not guns, violence, killing, hate, or anything else.

2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as "the light of the world." John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Their website makes it clear why they deserve the hatred of the left!

TRIJICON'S VALUES
• Honesty/Integrity
We will be honest, dependable, trustworthy and fair towards each other, our employees, our customers and our suppliers.
• Teamwork/Dedication
We will work together as employees, customers and suppliers, valuing the unique contributions of each, to produce optimal aiming solutions.
• Customers
We desire long-term relationships with our customers. We will listen and continually improve our products to meet their needs.
• Quality/Innovation
We will strive to attain a zero-defect rate in all our processes. Our products will be made to maximize durability and service life. We will continue to lead our industry by encouraging creative solutions.
• Morality
We believe that America is great when its people are good. This goodness has been based on biblical standards throughout our history and we will strive to follow those morals.

So there is " the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say.

ACOG's are awsome sights, I highly suspect thats just a lot number code or some other random number.


But its kind of neat, ACOG's can be used with night vision and in low visability, so in a sense they can light up your world, well at least your sight picture.


I was going to buy one for the Sig but they are like $1,300. I think I'll go with an Aimpoint Comp M4.


LWRC uses this passage for their new awsome REPR.
"They that plow iniquity and sow wickedness shall reap the same.” Job 4:8

The REPR is already in service with SOCOM and I'm sure has done in many a bad guy already. Its a damn fine rifle, if I had $4k to spend I'd buy one.

The tendency for people around the world to want to proclaim their religion the "best" the "chosen" the "most beloved by God," etc. runs pretty deep and pretty common.

Let God decide what Jesus is lord over. Nimrods put that inscription on those scopes. It's not that far away from waving scimitars in the air crying out "Allah Akbar!"

Very simple. It means that the manufacturer wants to dump his religious crap onto his work.

The light is the muzzle flash.

Oh really? You haven't seen some o' what we've done in the world based on a general belief that we are God's chosen country? Or heard some o' the generals who have spoken about our God being better than their God?

Well God's chosen country is bankrupting itself in this policeman to the world business.
