Fascinating, and a wonder that this hasn't been reported before, given the length of time that the company has been supplying the sights.

Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as "the light of the world." John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
