Self-professed 'gun nut' Keith Ratliff found fatally shot in the head in suspected homicide

Keith Ratliff was a fervent Second Amendment gun advocate and believed all Americans should be able to possess assault weapons.

In a rather macabre bit of irony, a self-professed "gun nut" who was a YouTube channel producer for fellow gun enthusiasts was found fatally shot in the head in his Carnesville, Ga., home on Jan. 3. Police are investigating the case as a homicide.

Keith Ratliff, 32, was a channel producer for the popular FPSRussia firearms channel on YouTube, according to FoxNews.com. The channel boasts 3.4 million subscribers and has more than 537 million video views. The videos largely consist of a man with a Russian accent test firing various high-powered firearms. The channel is ranked as one of the top 10 channels on YouTube.

Police found numerous weapons at the crime scene, according to WSB-TV. Some of the weapons were even manufactured by Ratliff himself. "He (Ratliff) did sustain a gunshot wound that was not self-inflicted,” Mike Ayers of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation told FoxNews.com

What a tone to use when reporting a man’s death.

Media and O’s buddies are stirring up so much hatred towards the “gun nuts”, “the rich” and the Americans who do not ascribe to O’s decadent, heathenistic agenda, that it is no wonder the real crazies are taking a toll.

Ratliff is survived by a wife and a 2-year-old son.

Let's allow the Georgia authorities to investigate before jumping to conclusions.

Tone? Didn’t mean to imply that the mans death wasn’t a tragic crime. Just strange timing when Obama is whipping up Anti-Gun hysteria. (Funny how libs can create the violent atmosphere they decry yet never get blamed for it)

That’s not the same guy I’ve seen on YT vids, with the lousy Russky accent, blowing-up stuff.

“What a tone to use when reporting a man’s death.”

Downright gloating.

Prayers to his family. I hope they can locate who murdered him. The comments from the left on that blog are proving how unthoughtful and cruel (whichever way you see things as this), part of the country is to ridicule his death.

I think he meant the tone of the article. Which is positively horrible, ansell is right. Ugh.

>>What a tone to use when reporting a man’s death.<<

Liberals (as all the LSM are) despise freedom. They need to control people b/c they have so little self-respect.

They are sick by crying for the dead kids and rejoicing as this man has been killed. Some of these liberals/progressives are just about evil; how can one explain the cruelty for anyone who dies in a crime. These blogs should use better rules/and moderates or make it to where we know who the person is posting threats and the slurs.

Sounds like Biden wasn’t happy enough with the 26 in Newtown and had somebody else assassinated.

jakerobins, I meant the newspaper, not you.

It is shocking how they report this man’s murder to us, and no one even knows who the killer is yet, or possible motives or anything, it is a murder of what we can assume at this point, is just an innocent fellow citizen.
