From the Huffington Post:
A producer behind a popular gun enthusiast YouTube channel was found dead with a single gunshot wound to the head at his business last week.
Police in Georgia are investigating the apparent homicide of Keith Ratliff, a 32-year-old Franklin County resident.
Authorities found multiple weapons at the scene of the crime, some manufactured by Ratliff himself, WSBTV reports. Investigators have not identified a motive.
Ratliff was known as an outspoken gun advocate. In a message posted to Twitter on Aug 11, 2012, he wrote: "I went to the movies with my pistol in my pocket the whole time I was praying that somebody would try to pull a Batman!"

Just sayin'.

(5,436 posts)This proves, at least for this "gun enthusiast" that my seeming joke about the #2 reason for Delicate Flowers to crave guns is to get acclaim as a "Mighty Warrior" by shooting a "bad guy" is not such a joke.
