The Forty Fives
Another twin set of 1911’s from Cabot Gun, this pair has been mirror polished by Master Hand-Polishers and features a unique grips made out of Wooly Mammoth tooth (molars) with a blued hue. The hard carry case has lexan glass to view the one-of-a-kind pair but Cabot Gun does not mention a price tag for the two, which they’ve named Lefty45 and Righty45. (GRH)

This is absolutely shameful. I’m about to rage-quit Texas.
I can’t even fully put into words how frustrated this makes me.
Why exactly??
Chris Kyle was an outspoken bigot. In his memoir, which American Sniper was based on, he plainly put in his own words that to him killing was “fun” and something that he “loved” to do. He call Iraqi’s savages, thus de-humanizing them and making them inferior. Even in the movie, American Sniper, such a viewpoint is given. Should such an individual be memorialized to have a day named after him? I don’t think Governor Abbott would have even done such a thing if American Sniper wasn’t made. In my eyes it’s just propaganda film. Anyway’s why not memorialize all soldiers who come home suffering from PTSD? Maybe that would actually make a difference.
I’m sorry for re-posting your tweet and going off about this. This was one or two posts I found about “Chris Kyle Day” and I chose yours to re-post.
Chris Kyle day is a day to remember all veterans and current military. In no way is it propaganda. He used his name because his is one of the most recognized. When Chris Kyle said that it was something he loved to do he was talking about fighting for his country and protecting his family. I will support him and all of our military because they do so many things that many of us cannot. redbloodedamerica do you have anything to add on this?
Here is the quote that shameless scumbags like themoreyouknow-steven are deliberately taking our of context, because either they had it fed to them by some leftwing resource and are too lazy to actually look it up for themselves, or they flat out like to libel someone because they are purely dishonest:
It was my duty to shoot, and I don’t regret it. The woman was already dead. I was just making sure she didn’t take any Marines with her.
It was clear that not only did she want to kill them, but she didn’t care about anybody else nearby who would have been blown up by the grenade or killed in the firefight. Children on the street, people in the houses, maybe her child …
She was too blinded by evil to consider them. She just wanted Americans dead, no matter what.
My shots saved several Americans, whose lives were clearly worth more than that woman’s twisted soul. I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job. But I truly, deeply hated the evil that woman possessed. I hate it to this day.
Savage, despicable evil. That’s what we were fighting in Iraq. That’s why a lot of people, myself included, called the enemy “savages.” There really was no other way to describe what we encountered there.
People ask me all the time, “How many people have you killed?” My standard response is, “Does the answer make me less, or more, of a man?”
The number is not important to me. I only wish I had killed more. Not for bragging rights, but because I believe the world is a better place without savages out there taking American lives. Everyone I shot in Iraq was trying to harm Americans or Iraqis loyal to the new government.
I had a job to do as a SEAL. I killed the enemy—an enemy I saw day in and day out plotting to kill my fellow Americans. I’m haunted by the enemy’s successes. They were few, but even a single American life is one too many lost.
So, as you can see, Kyle was clearly calling ‘the enemy’ “savages;” not all Iraqis. He even defined it which I bolded above. Of course, for the layman liberal that hasn’t grasped simple elementary school reading comprehension skills, this seems to be very hard to fathom.
Next, let’s address the assertion that Kyle thought killing was fun:
I loved what I did. I still do. If circumstances were different—if my family didn’t need me—I’d be back in a heartbeat. I’m not lying or exaggerating to say it was fun. I had the time of my life being a SEAL.
People try to put me in a category as a bad-ass, a good ol’ boy, asshole, sniper, SEAL, and probably other categories not appropriate for print. All might be true on any given day. In the end, my story, in Iraq and afterward, is about more than just killing people or even fighting for my country.
It’s about being a man. And it’s about love as well as hate.
He also wrote:
Eventually, the insurgents might be able to get enough men together that I couldn’t kill them all.
Not that I wouldn’t have had fun trying.
As well as:
Even with the pain, I loved what I was doing. Maybe war isn’t really fun, but I certainly was enjoying it. It suited me.
I loved killing bad guys.
So, Kyle was not stating he loved killing Iraqis but rather that he loved his job and killing “bad guys,” which again were the insurgents in Iraq - not the Iraq civilians.
The problem with pacifists like this idiot above, is that they don’t understand why soldiers volunteer to serve their country in the first place and how people like Kyle can keep returning to active tours. It just doesn’t compute in their tiny brains. They label this as propaganda as if every person that reads this book or watches this movie has the testicular fortitude to not only risk their necks like Kyle did in Iraq, but also be as successful as he was. Perhaps, it was his love for country, his love for his job as a SEAL, and his love for his fellow soldiers that made him successful; because it sure as hell wasn’t some kind of fabricated bigoted bloodlust that these cowardly liberals love to paint about this fallen hero.
Happy Chris Kyle Day Everyone!
