Wow...awfully cold statement from Ron Paul.....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2616520.html
Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) took to Twitter Monday to respond to this weekend's fatal shooting of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.
The suspect who allegedly shot Kyle and another man is Eddie Ray Routh, a veteran who authorities believe may have a mental illness related to his military service.
Paul wondered what Routh was doing at the Texas shooting range:
Kyle was the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, with 160 confirmed kills. After leaving the Navy in 2009, he wrote his autobiography, American Sniper, published last year
Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense

Not really calling this "cold".......but for what it's worth:
Paul is friends with Jesse Ventura. Kyle wrote that he punched out Ventura in a bar over "unamerican" comments by Ventura.
Kyle says all these things on Fox News.....who is owned by the same company that published Kyle's book......
Ventura threatens lawsuit (as he claims it never happened and he said it just to sell more books).
Kyle tries to somewhat retract by citing first amendment protection.
Can't recall the rest of the story.....but an interesting story, nonetheless.
