Ready. Aim. Read some Bible. Fire. Huh? I don't think of New Zealanders as particulary given to compunction, maybe occasionally irascible, but mostly as an easy-going, live and and let live sort of folk. I mean, when your human population is outnumbered by sheep... Yet protest they did, complaining that there was something wrong with the guns used by their troops along with the British, and US in Afghanistan. Turns out, US arms manufacturer Trijicon stamped New Testament biblical references into the gun sights. Trijicon has agreed to stop inscribing bibilical messages and to provide (for free!) the means to erase such references. US military officials are reviewing the purchase of such Trijicon products. Hmmm.
