Concerns over Bible References on Gunsights


The Pentagon is moving to address concerns raised about hundreds of thousands of gunsights it has purchased, which officials found out this week have biblical references engraved on them.

A photograph of one gunsight engraving published by London's Guardian newspaper is, JN8:12, which stands for the Book of John, chapter eight, verse 12. The verse quotes Jesus as saying he provides the light of life to his followers. Britain has also purchased several hundred of the gunsights.

U.S. officials say no one in the military leadership noticed the references, which are on plates that also contain serial numbers and other information.
