Keith Ratliff, Manager of FPS Russia found murdered.

I'm posting this because Jeff recently posted a video of his.

January 7, 2013 By brandon

Keith Ratliff, the manager of FPS Russia, the 3rd most popular youtube channel was found dead yesterday, tied up to a chair and shot in the back of the head.

Body Found in Carnesville Identified | 92.1 WLHR

Keith Ratliff killed in Stanton, Ky. - Topix

The radio and media at large isn’t mentioning the exact details, however this is a very important thing. FPS Russia is a driving force in the pro-gun movement concerning youth. The videos published are very pro-gun, and reach literally millions of impressionable youth showing them that firearms just aren’t for people in movies or video games.

From the details, it was not a robbery turned murder. His guns were still left in the house. So, why was he murdered mob style?

This represents a second well known player in the firearms industry to be killed in the past week. Only a few days ago, John Novseke was killed in a somewhat mysterious car crash.

Interestingly enough, one of FPSRussia’s recent videos featured him tied to a chair, held hostage and about to be shot.

Irony? "All his guns were left untouched"? Tragic, but not a good advertisement for the "home defence" argument!

The industry loses a friend with the death of John Noveske

John Noveske died last night in a vehicle accident. GearScout extends our condolences to the family, friends and employees of Noveske Rifleworks. We know that John was well respected by the industry and was considered a friend by many.

Noveske Rifleworks has issued the following statement:

“Noveske Rifleworks would ask you to remember the passing of our founder, John Noveske, who died Friday, January 4th 2013 in an automobile accident.”

“John planned for all eventualities, and wanted to ensure any changes would be as seamless as possible for our customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and friends. While this will be a trying time, we do not expect a change in the day to day operations of Noveske Rifleworks. We would like to thank you for your support as we deal with our loss, and would ask that instead of flowers, you consider a donation to a cause we will announce at later date.”

“John was more than just the founder of Noveske Rifleworks, he was a loving husband and father, and caring friend.”

Condolences
Noveske

A lot of those comments are really bad, but they do give some valuable information on how some people think.
