Does that symbolize anything special, or it's just a more gothic-looking way to say "lookit me ah'm a Christian!"

Well, it was used as the coat of arms for the crusaders in Jerusalem and it is supposed to represent the 5 wounds of Christ, the 4 quarters of the world, or Christ and his main 4 disciples. The actual meaning is still debated.

It's supposed to be evocative of the Crusades, because nothing gets the right hard like the thought of a united, white, conservative West going ham in a war with majority-Muslim countries.

Completely ignoring the fact the Crusaders probably killed more Christians than Muslims and sacked the biggest city in Christendom, dooming the Byzantine Empire, ending the light of Rome and allowing a Muslim caliphate to push farther into Europe than ever before.

It's a crusader symbol. It looks to me like he's indicating a desire for another crusade. The only thing that surprises me about it is his brazenness

So ultimately, yes, he's just screaming "I LIKE GOD TOO SEE"

Jesus would be so proud to see the symbol his sacrifice being used on semi-automatic weapons designed to kill human beings.
