Fair enough, but one was a producer of a web program and the other was a psychotic killer. Not really comparable IMO.

Like I said: you live by the gun, you die by the gun. This death should not come as a surprise since this guy was such an active promoter of a violent society where everybody should own guns. He's partly to blame for his own demise.

FPS Russia videos are great to watch. I'm not a gun owner but still find them fun. So sorry to hear.

And he was not a promoter of violent society....

Anyway, it is sad. It is a fun channel to watch. BTW: FPSRussia isn't Russian if people didn't know.

Well, I actually prefer a Gallagher type who smashes water melons and pumpkins with a big hammer, as opposed to firing guns of different calibers to see how it would destroy them. Mythbusters is a good example of a show where they sometimes blow things up.

Yet another ridiculous slippery slope argument. Paranoia runs rampant on this thread.

Conversely, this gun nut was a proponent of the same dangerous gun culture which obviously killed him. Big difference. I mourn the teachers, I don't mourn this clown.
1. The star of the show merely demonstrates guns, a far cry from promoting some dangerous culture. FPSRussia came up with an idea, found an audience, and capitalized on it.
2. It's not obvious what exactly happened.
3. The person killed was the web producer.
4. Movie stars and producers make movies involving guns all the time. Should Nicholas Cage or the producer of "Lord of War" be killed next? We can't kill people for engaging in freedom of speech.

It's always the left's way. They are the most hateful people on the planet. They are fascists by definition.

Why is it that right wingers/conservatives are the ones who donate the most? Christians (generally known for right-leaning/conservative views) are the ones who go to the food shelves and donate their time and love and finances.

Hardcore left-wing/liberals are generally a sick bunch of people, IMO. View it clearly in this thread here.

Cho murdered FOUR MORE than Lanza did, and Cho did it with handguns. Cho also did it against ADULTS whereas Lanza did it against little babies.

You actually think we buy into your LIES that their end goal isn't inevitably to get to HANDGUNS?

GTHO

Make no mistake about it folks, they want to take just about everything outside of maybe a double barrel or single shot. Fight these tyrants as it is.

Wow, You are a scary person for sure with that mentality. So are you saying that anyone that works for a defense contractor designing , engineering, and manufacturing a "weapon of mass destruction" get's what they deserve if the are murdered ? If he died because he did something stupid ,well that I can understand but what your saying is anyone that is an active gun enthusiast deserves this ?
