Tragic news of Chris Kyle's murder. This stinks bad. I guess we'll find out more later.

Rest in Peace Chris. Prayers for his family.

A True Patriot.

Just saw it reported on FOX that the shooter is another former soldier trying to deal with PTSD. So sad. :sad:

I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine who was friends with Kyle at Tarleton State. He's tore up.

Extremely saddened to hear this news. Immeasurable loss for his wife and family. :cry:

Cue the liberal-progressive media slant against servicemembers with PTSD in 3, 2, 1...

Are we in a particularly unusual part of our celestial orbit or something? Are we being bombarded by some strange cosmic rays I am unaware of at this time?

(tap...tap.....tap)

Is this thing on?

I swear I feel like I've been transported into another dimension, a strange, malevolent dimension I will now call "Krazy Land".

What's going on out there?

RIP Chris. American Sniper was an inspiring book.

I don't know. After FPSRussia's manager was shot and killed, John Noveske was killed in a car accident and Massad Ayoob was involved in a helicopter crash (luckily all three survived), I said I'd be very suspicious if we lost another high-profile gun guy.

Well, I'm suspicious. :waiting:

I just can't believe it. This guy lived in Dallas. I read his book, followed some of his news conferences and TV shows he was on. Kind of feel like I know him a little. I really can't believe it. Terrible.
