Which is ironic considering how he got his fame. The entire thing is some serious irony.

The entire thing is terribly ****ing sad. The guy did his country's bidding (exceedingly well), returned home with honor and tries to assist other veteran's any way he can - and is murdered. It's just...sad.

This death will not cause the much needed intropsection and reality call that it should. THAT i s the sad part of his death. He will end up like all other gun deaths. Just another...number.

Lol, that is true. False sense of security.

Sunday talk show said it was a marine he was counseling through PTSD. Which would explain why an experienced SEAL would have his guard down.

Not sure there is much room for controversy here.

When PTSD is involved, it can be anything.

The man dedicated himself to a profession which you obviously disagree with, (truth being because you cannot comprehend it) and saved countless lives of people he never knew, while doing the unfortunate business of killing in combat. To follow up, he dedicates his life to helping fellow veterans after he serves his time. A tremendous human being, American (eew, gross, rolleyes), and humble person was murdered yesterday. Yes- you're right many thousands of terrific people died yesterday, and that is also sad. But this particular thread is about Chris Kyle. RIP. |

Thanks for making my point.. False sense of security. Perhaps the issue here will not only be guns but trust. When you place your faith in an object to protect or save you then you have lost your inate ability on who and when to trust. This will lead to even more fear and need to trust the object for your safety. More paranoia that you are never truly safe. Vicious cycle.
