I hadn't heard of that before. If people object they have a simple choice - don't use it!
Can't believe some are saying it is unconstitutional. Probably the same people who want to take "Under God" out of the pledge of allegiance.
If I were in the military, it would be deeply satisfying killing a soldier of Allah with a Jesus gun.
I don't think that Jesus rejoices at the death of those who don't believe in Him, so I wouldn't either. In fact, I would say the opposite is true. If I was there, I would do what I had to do to protect my fellow soldiers and country, but I would never find pleasure in the death of anyone, especially an unbeliever.
Just my 0.02.
They are simply a Christian founded company that found a way of putting a biblical reference that was appropriate and relevant to a product they made.
An optic that transmits light to it's user.
"Let light shine out of darkness"
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."
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 heart may be in the right place, but their head isn't. I don't want any religious iconography or passages on my firearms or my gun gear. Considering what I may have to use a gun to do, it seems more than slightly blasphemous to use a Bible verse when I'm going to kill one of God's creations.
Also from a practical matter, it is a bad idea... There are many US military personnel who are not Christian and this kind of thing does become a morale problem in the ranks because there will be people who do not like it and those who think it's great and then they get into nasty arguments with each other. Add someone with rank to it who thinks it's great and then you get major discipline problems.
Another problem is it does play into the hand of our opponents and can aid them in their recruitment efforts. It's not a mistake that they are accusing us of being on a crusade. The intentionally use the word to inspire Muslim youth to hear the call and defend Islam.
Additionally there is a real issue about not proselytizing and why the government is not allowed to do it. There were centuries filled with religious wars in Europe and those were mainly between different groups of Christians. Also once intertwined, the state can have a bad effect on religion and religion can have a bad effect on the state. The Founding Fathers did not want their new republic to repeat these mistakes, that's why there is a separation between church and state.
For those who think it's a great idea that tends to be because you haven't had someone else's religion imposed on you. Being in the majority allows you to think in certain ways that you would never do if you were in the minority. -If your optic contained codes for passages from the Koran/Quran, how many of you would still be in love with a manufacturer of gear for the military proselytizing his beliefs about Islam on the gear you were issued? What if it was some scripture from another religion that claimed any user of the gear as a convert to their faith, would you still think it was great to have it on your gear? Probably not.
