Admiration vs. Glorification

god bless america and the freedom of speech! i understand we are all very passionate about our collections and my intentions were not to accuse all of you of being nazi lovers/sympathisers. that is ridiculous. all i attempted to do was explain the otherside of the coin and how people outside the realm of luger collectors see things at times. that's ALL. alot of people seeing this stuff don't have the fortune to have each of you explain the meaning and symbolism of your collections. and if you want people like mr. x to stop thinking the way he does about "nazi guns" then maybe we should think about how "WE" portray our lugers to the public. i'm sorry i ever brought it up, but whether or not we want to address it or not the problem will persist as long as some continue to bath the luger in third reich icons and symbols.

end of story, it is done. finished. let's move on.
