Outspoken gun advocate apparently shot dead

[Aldo Leopold]

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!"

15. Exactly, Ma'am, And It Is Such Fun To Hear 'Team NRA' Types Deny Their Fantasies When Pressed

But there is not a single person who carries a pistol habitually who does not have thoughts like this on their mind an appreciable portion of their waking hours. This fellow differs from the usual run only in the honesty he displayed concerning his hopes and dreams....

16. I grew up in S Texas and as a young man went to as many Honky Tonks and drank as

much beer as the next guy. Never, not once, was I obliged to 'defend myself'. I had several friends who had Black Belts in Karate and they seemed to need to defend themselves on any given Saturday night.

Just sayin'.

12. LOL

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.

It appears I know the psychology of Precious-worship more than the Delicate Flowers do themselves.
