The Holy Gospel According to John (Moses Browning)
1. In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was the pistol, and it
was good. And behold the Lord said, thou shalt not muck with my
disciple John's design for it is good and it worketh. For John made
the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the
Lord, gave him upon the mountain.
2. And shouldst thou muck with it and hang all manner of foul
implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely
have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come
to harm.
3. And as the ages passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst
forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe
of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide
releases upon the 1911 and their metal smiths didst tighten the
tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind
being clouded by lust.
4. Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911
and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo,
the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911
so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning
of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the
land fell upon it.
5. And lo, they didn't install adjustable sights, which are an
abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and loose their zero
when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain
in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle.
6. And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought
by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunction to come
upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do
no wrong.
7. Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men the lord of the
underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst
bring forth pistols made of plastic, whose form was such that they
looked and felt like a brick, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they
were consumed by the plastic pistol and did buy vast quantities of
them.
8. And being a deceitful spirit the lord of the underworld did make
these plastic pistols unamenable to the artisans of earth and they
were unable to muck much with the design, and lo these pistols did
function.
9. And the evil one also brought forth pistols in which the trigger
didst both cock and fire them and which require a "dingus" to make
them appear safe.
10. But man being stupid did not understand these new pistols and did
proceed to shoot themselves with the plastic pistol, and with the
trigger cocking pistols for lo their manual of arms required great
intelligence which man had long since forsaken. Yet man continue to
gloat over these new pistols blaming evil forces for the negligent
discharges which they themselves had committed.
11. And when man had been totally ensnared with plastic pistol, the
lord of the underworld didst cause a plague of the terrible Ka-BOOM to
descend upon man and the plastic pistols delivered their retribution
upon men. And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the
land.
12. Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that
man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Lord did send his
messengers in the form of artisans who did hear and obey the teachings
of the prophet and who didst restore the profaned 1911s to their
proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of men they didst begin
to work as the prophet had intended.
13. And the men of the land didst drive out the charlatans and
profaners from the land, and there was joy and peace in the land,
except for the evil sprits which tried occasionally to prey on the men
and women of the land and who were sent to the place of eternal
damnation by the followers of John.

I missed this in the Bible, I'll have to go back and reread. [:D]
Glocks and polymers - New Testament
Get with the program! (stir, stir)
Can I get an AMEN?
Glocks jam too much
I've always heard the USA to be "Gods own country" and know that a lot of 'mericans pray and all that - believes very much in god and so on and so forth..
Now.. I've seen these biblical rewritings for just about anything - and now for guns..
That makes me wonder - if any war that the US of A have started... have actually been a holy war ? (kind of Jihad.. only in christian terms). [:D]
And yes, bush did use the word crusade in the context of iraq at least once in one of his public speeches.
But for the most part id say our wars are fought for self Preservation/defense of our rights such as :WW II, war or 1812)
Defense of our allies WW I,
or just plain greed: spanish-american war(the fake "attack" on the Maine was a bs excuse to start a war and take some of their colonial possessions, such as the phillipines), the mexican-american war, all our wars with the indian tribes.
Im not sure where korea fits in.
Vietnam may have been a sorta crusade against the godless commies.
During the cold war we did often highlight the fact that communists were godless, in ways such as adding "under god" to out pledge (i think it never should been put in there in the first place).
There may have been a religous component to the politics that got us involved in vietnam, given the communism-atheism connection.
Happy, The US fights on principle, pur and sim[ple. The US fought Britain in 1812 based on the principle of our independance.
We fought the Civil War onprinicple of states rights
We fought Spain on the principle of freedom for its colonists
We fought in WWI on prinicle of defending freedom for Europe, same thing in WWII
I Korea and Vietnam we fought for principle of freedopm and democary, just like we did in Gulf War I and II, Afghansitan etc.
The united states has never fought to conquer or control a country. We give back every foot of ground to the people we fought and we pay to rebuild their country.
There would be no freedom in Denmark or Greenland if the United States was not prepared to protect you from Germany and then from Russia. You owe every ouce of freedom in your country to brave US soldiers who fight for everyone's freedom.
I agree with most of Boomers assessment, except the part about the adjustable sights. Bad sights on the 1911 have contributed to a myth that the gun is inaccurate. The stock sights suck, thats for sure. I've been searching for the best combination of adjustablity and ruggedness for years.

No freedom ??!!??
We'd just be speaking german - that's all.

now, granted, its a great gun with a superb design and a gifted designer. but the man wasnt god. and new technology has come about.
i own more than one glock. i have personally put in the area of 15,000rds of a wide range of 9mm through my 19. i have never, not ever, shal i repeat the ever part, had a ftf,fte or any other problem that wasnt directly related to the ammunition and completly isolated from the gun itself. i know a guy whoe owns one of every glock legally sold to civilians in this country. same experiences. it has been said by me, and proven to beyonds the shadow of a doubt, that a strikingly high percentage of the glock kb's have been with oveloaded handloads(which is strictly warned against in the manual btw).
but hey, if you sheeple want to hang on to your beloved, yet antiquated relic, have at it. your generation will be dead soon enough and the plastic fantastic generation will reign supreme!!!!!
