One of the sillier categories I've seen[edit]

Why not list all the war deaths? Are they less important than the deaths listed here? More important? This waste of time of a laundry list of deserving and undeserving deaths looks like nothing more than a sociology project designed by the "guns are bad" crowd. And where's Gary Gilmore? Poor fella, shot dead by a bunch of men with their evil guns and not even listed. --CliffC 21:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True, it does seem like a cat that may not be justified by WP policy. But someone would need to propose a formal 'category for deletion' to see what the consensus is. N2e (talk) 02:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know for a fact that there have been a steady stream of gun deaths in Montana, not including war deaths. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goruda2 (talk • contribs) 01:52, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
