Gun Nut Ink
Updated: January 9th, 2013
Gun blogger Top of the Chain got himself inked for his birthday.
I think it looks awesome!
For those of you not familiar to the phrase “ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ”, it means “Come and take them!”. The Spartans were said to have said it in reply to the Persian order to surrender their weapons.
Happy Birthday buddy, I hope you have a good one.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

the Italians and the Germans in world war II

When our foes have greater forces than us and they ask us to surrender , it is a tradition to respond this way . This phrase is a symbol of sucrifice . (and many times we did win)
I think you have something simmilar
Death before surrender .
Actualy it is a common frase in greek defensive war tradition .
Exactly the same or diferent frases with the same meaning .
We used it many times through our history against the persians , the arabs , the romans , the turks
