I guess being a Democrat means I can find some guns ugly, and not love þem?

edit: not OP's, þough; þose are gorgeous

Um… bad English is my second language, but I’m still going to need some help here.

That’s a Diehard reference… I just don’t know what “pem” is. It’s coming out with an oddly accented ’p’ on my end. Maybe an accented ’b’?

Ah, welcome! The character (þ) you see there is the thorn. It makes a 'th' sound, so 'þem' would be commonly read as 'them'.

Cool. What languages? If you don’t mind my asking…

I'd say old (maybe middle) English? It comes to us from the raids and interaction with the Norse around the turn of the last millenium, as best I understand (very little).
