Guns

If Only He Was Armed

If the host of “Rifleman’s Journal,” editor of Shooting Times, and CEO of a hunting supply company can be gunned down by a Bad Guy with a Gun — anyone can be.

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 hesitate to snark because someone was shot and killed, but make no mistake — my mockery is entirely directed that the notion that Good Guys with Guns stop Bad Guys with Guns. Although, if he really was having an affair with the shooter’s wife and thus is not a Good Guy, maybe LaPierre’s Razor doesn’t apply.
