Shock horror: Idiot dick-waver with gun gets shot by Fed with gun who are trained to shoot people with guns in country obsessed with guns.

So utterly avoidable, but then some people appear unable to control their testosterone-fuelled stupidity that this was inevitable at some point. It's the innocents in his family I feel sorry for, but then he didn't consider them himself did he? He preferred to perpetrate the myth of the rebellious, gun-totin' cowboy who also happens to be a right-winger with access to deadly weapons who is also part of the sorely-wronged white America that feels under threat from figment of their own imagination; these people are the constituency of the likes of Trump and Palin. Now he's dead though, so it didn't serve him well and those of similar disposition have a new martyr.

Apparently more Americans have died in their own country at their own and each other's hands since 1963 than in all the wars the US has been involved in: U.S. Shootings Since 1963 Have Killed More Americans Than All Wars Ever

It's so depressing.
