I've linked to a couple of threads today already with the finest crop of gun militants' tombstones you could imagine.

Do you REALLY want to start counting heads that have rolled? I'll guess a couple of hundred gun militants, some of whom were around quite a while before expiring.

Benchley, as we aalllll know, fell afoul of the management decision in the Lamont/Lieberman debacle. Nothing to do with the Guns forum whatsoever. I believe that was the case for others you might name. Hankydubs?? How did I manage to miss that one? But huh, that one seems to be immediately cancelled out by Watson T in this thread:

Of course, it's hard to assess the death toll on the gun militant side, given the zombies and sock puppets that infest the place. C'mon, I've seen them boasting all over the net about their exploits here, and so have you.

Oh, and don't ever forget Joe Steel!

And more recently, Uncle Omar.
