What a dick!
Can anyone elaborate on who possibly possessed this fire arm and why they may have needed it. Surely protection of one self or the ridding of a foe could be inferred, however, if you please, a punctilious response would be warmly received.
The Book of Revelations?
Le concealed firearm has arrived
Looks awkward to fire.
The most powerful verse in the Bible says ‘Thou shalt shut up when thy face is greeted by my gun”.
Thou shan’t cap thy brothers ass.
The epic doggo pupperino of Venice
such bible
wow
I’m curious what the last real page before the gun is?
“The Lord is my shepherd. He guideth me to **break yo’self, foo!**”
Francesco Morosini was not just inventive in terms of biblical firearms, but also in terms of financial innovations, with some of his greatest inventions considered centuries ahead of its time. In particular, he was the first man to mint a type of physical cryptocurrency, which still carries his official title.
He was the holiest man ever to slap iron
Name of the gun?
God’s Will.
One way or another you will be needing Jesus
Dixie approves!
holy damage: +50
‘Murica Special
Doge of Venice?
Wonder if it could be fired from within the bible or would you have to whip it out?
And on the seventh day…… so anyway I started BLASTING
I’m surprised that it wouldn’t be considered sacrilegious to damage a holy book, especially to turn it into a weapon.
Shouldn’t it have been scandalous that the Doge would allow a bible to be chopped up?

The Holy Handgun of Antioch!
The book is opened on a page of the [Office of the Dead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_the_Dead). I’m not so sure this is a bible, it might be a [book of hours](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_hours).
