Gunner, fair argument. Let’s consider that al-Jazeera does report such a thing. So what?! Again, if this is the best they have to throw at us, so be it. You have to grasp one important concept, our very existence fuels their desire to kill more of us, the rest is just crap excuses.
If it wasn’t the S/N for the scope, then it would be the Psalm 23 on the stock of my weapon, or maybe it would be the red cross on my shoulder, I have paper in my pockets with “In God We Trust”, the fact I’m a Christian or I’m an American for why they justify killing me (or you).
I’m not saying for the media to stop reporting news, but instead how ‘bout reporting the news needing to be reported. And if the best you have is a report about S/Ns on weapons…then you need to get a new job, because there are more important stories to report on in the middle east.
I included this picture for a reason, it shows the only part of the trijicon ACOG that matters, the view looking forward. The rest is just silly details.
