Recently, ABC News learned that Trijicon, a supplier to the US Military, has been inscribing Bible Verses on their products.
Link to article from ABC.
Trijicon produces optics, and has a government contract to supply some optics (scopes) for US Military small arms (M16 and M4 rifles). Their specialty is the production of the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG). These ACOG's are very rugged, provide 3-4 power magnification, have an illuminated reticle, and most have calibrated additional aiming dots for longer range shots (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yard marks).
Trijicons are of the highest quality and a single optic often has a price of over $1000. The reason for the price also includes the fact that the optic stays on all the time... no batteries. Trijicon makes the optic run on a low grade radioactive substance, tritium. While harmless to people, the tritium provides the "battery power" for years in the optic.
Wikipedia on ACOG's.
Funny thing in all this is the gun fans out there (like me) have known about the Bible verses for years. ABC must have just discovered this fact and decided to run with it.
Quoted in the article, on page 2 is a man by the name of Michael Weinstein. Link to him on Wikipedia. He seems to be a very anti-Christian man. He does, however, use a term I like. He calls the US Military Rifles with the ACOG's on them "Jesus rifles." I like that term. I think I'll use that one!
