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.

It is not yet clear if the weapon used in the crime was obtained legally.

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:

3. No More Wild Pig Shootings

from a helicopter.

Our DVR broke and the new one came yesterday - I was doing the programming thing of my favorite channels when I stopped at TSC and saw a promo of Mr. Rodriguez hunting of a herd of wild pigs as they were shot with an assault rifle from a copter.

The sport of hunting sure is different these days.

4. Rodriguez' Outfit, Global Adventure Outfitters, Has An On-Line Store.

Among a whole bunch of dead animal photos and safari-booking services, there are T-shirts and stickers for sale, bearing the following phrase: "We Kill Shit!"

And you're absolutely right---hunting is a lot different today than it used to be. Which is why I no longer hunt.

5. I guess the douchebag had it coming to him. Fooling around with another guy's wife.

Douchebag.

6. The woman worked for an ammunitions manufacturer and went to the trade shows.

Sales Reps are supposed to meet with people in their trade.

The only idiot douchebag, was the man who murdered the man and beat up his wife.

Then suicided- probably because he realised what a moron he was.

9. are you disappointed he didn't kill his wife, too?

After all, based on your reasoning, she had it coming to her as well, didn't she?

7. Brutal inviting brutal. violence with a gun bringing more violence with a gun.

It's all related...
