TYT: Gunmaker Selling Crusade-Friendly Bible AR-15 Rifles

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Christian fundamentalists are selling guns with scriptures engraved on them. The Florida gunmaker thinks the scriptures have magical powers that don’t allow the weapons to be used by muslims. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Florida gun shop is marketing a military-style rifle engraved with a Bible verse and a Knights Templar Long Cross — the symbol of the Christian crusades.

The “Crusader” AR-15 went on sale last week at Spike’s Tactical in Apopka, and a company spokesman said the rifle was intended to be a weapon no devout Muslim would touch, reported the Orlando Sentinel.

The weapon — which is inscribed with Psalm 144:1: “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle” — was immediately condemned by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.”*

1. Gotta love gun manufacturer's marketing plans to lure America's gun fanciers.

What does the OP, ads for tactical and sniper rifles, and this, say about those attracted to lethal weapons. I think their focus group is made up of folks like george zimmerman, cliven bundy, militia men, etc.

I think it's always courteous to ask, whether permission is required or not.

4. The Puckle Gun, Nothing new under the sun in this Category!

Two versions

Puckle. (The Inventor Of the Puckle Gun!) demonstrated two configurations of the basic design: one, intended for use against Christian enemies, fired conventional round bullets, while the second, designed to be used against the Muslim Turks, fired square bullets. The square bullets were considered to be more damaging. They would, according to the patent, "convince the Turks of the benefits of Christian civilization." The weapon was also reported as able to fire shot, with each discharge containing sixteen musket balls.
