GUN SHOW HOST KILLED; TINFOIL HATS DONNED

Think Progress reports:

The host of The Sportsman Channel's "A Rifleman's Journal" was shot and killed in Montana on Friday. The gunman, seemingly a jealous husband, then turned the weapon on himself....

Gregory Rodriguez not only hosted his own hunting show. He was also an editor of Shooting Times and wrote for Guns & Ammo magazine. He was also the CEO of Global Adventure Outfitters, a hunting supply store. But that all ended Friday after the gunman found Rodriguez with his wife, who works an ammunitions manufacturer, together....

I told you recently that many on the gun-loving right believe that there's a Vast Kenyan Conspiracy to kill prominent figures in the firearms world -- they suspect that Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL killed on a firing range, was murdered by the Vast Gun-Grabbing Conspiracy, as were gunmaker John Noveske and gun reviewer Keith Ratliff.




And now I'm seeing a handful of message-board responses like this:

This was the first thing I thought of while reading the article: http://www.pa2a.org/thread-obama-donor%E...ia-outlets
Is my tinfoil too tight?

Follow the link and it takes you, ultimately, to a Daily Caller story about Leo Hindery -- an investor who gives to prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama and Andrew Cuomo, but who also owns Shooting Times and Guns & Ammo, as well as a number of other hunting and fishing magazines, and also owns the Sportsman Channel -- which aired Rodriguez's show. As I noted recently, Hindery has been trying to acquire the Outdoor Channel, which has content similar to the Sportsman Channel. The Daily Caller has been leading the charge to keep him from getting control of the Outdoor Channel, in the paranoid belief that he's buying gun-oriented media properties in order to shut them down. (In fact, it appears that he's doing what businessmen do all the time, which is to cut expenses in jobs in non-glamour areas, while retaining high-profile talent.)

In any case, he's now been outbid for the Outdoor Channel. BUT THAT WOULDN'T PREVENT HIM FROM HAVING A SPORTSMAN CHANNEL HOST KILLED JUST TO ADVANCE HIS SINISTER GUN-GRABBING AGENDA, NOW, WOULD IT?????

I don't know how much of this sort of thinking there'll be on the pro-gun right. But the idea is out there.

By the way, if you want to see the canonical list of all the people Obama has allegedly had killed, it seems to be here.
