Ray January 07, 2013 News

A bit of more tragic news, Keith Ratliff, the weapons manager of FPS Russia was recently found dead. It was reported that he was found tied to a chair and shot in the back of the head. FPS Russia is the third most popular YouTube channel and helps bring a ton of exposure to guns, and he blows a lot of stuff up. RIP Mr. Ratliff.

Ironically, a recent FPS Russia video showed him tied to a chair and held hostage.

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.

What bothers me MOST about this stuff is that since the Sandy Hook shootings, many major media players have come out and publicly called for the death of those who support guns. Are the deaths of Mr. Ratliff & Mr. Novseke just random chance, or is there something bigger going on? Our own government isn’t opposed to killing innocent people to promote gun control, so maybe we shouldn’t consider things like this odd.

I find it odd that if it was a robbery and Mr. Ratliff went to go investigate why was there no mention of him with a firearm and why did he not manage to get off a shot or two.... Just sayin

My understanding he was a type 10 FFL and his murder should involve the BATFE

Yes and as in his murder is now a federal crime

This also at least temporarily puts Kyle (FPSRussia) out of business as I am going to guess all the full auto stuff was going through the victim

Can anyone find an actual legitimate news site with this story? I can't find anything about the death on anything but forums and blogs. The FPS Russia wiki page, facebook page, and youtube page have nothing on this at all either.

The point I was making is this is in the hands of people who hate his kind and I am sure won't be treated serious.
