Kahr Arms and the Unification Church

Wednesday, October 03, 2007

In the October issue of Conde Nast Portfolio, Contributing editor Christopher S. Stewart goes inside the growing gun empire of Justin Moon, the C.E.O. of Kahr Arms, who’s also the son of Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the Unification Church. Kahr Arms is facing a landmark lawsuit for negligence that has other gunmakers watching the case with trepidation. Mr. Stewart will be joined by Larry Zilliox, Jr., a Virginia private investigator, who has investigated the Unification Church and Reverend Moon’s enormous commercial empire.

    In addition to arms, Rev. Moon is also one of the largest sushi suppliers in the US through True World Group, located in Elizabeth, NJ.

    Even though the mixing of weapons and religion seem absurd today [eg:branch davidians],one cannot have a "kingdom",

    or a "country", secular or otherwise,unless it can [eventually] defend itself.

    Whether or not this is part of their plan remains to be seen,but for sure it is a money maker,and doesnt shock me at all.
