I must admit that I too had checked for an obituary for King after he went silent. But it wasn't because I missed him or his numerous anti-2nd Amendment posts. I'm not as impressed with his alleged accomplishments as others because it became very apparent that much of what he posted here simply wasn't true. I would not say that if I couldn't prove it. He had an uncanny knack of simply pretending to not see any reply that pointed out his falsehoods. He was a master of dropping out of a discussion when there was no other way to avoid looking totally dishonest, and then returning days later after the heat died down. I often thought he might have been the father of "Fake News". Watching him in action here was exactly like watching Biden blame Republicans for high inflation, illegal immigration, and efforts to defund the police.

I do believe he was an avowed Socialist, which he proudly admitted. And he was much admired by our Democrat gun owners and closet Liberals who support anti-gun Democrats. Sadly, when an anti-gunner like King, Ted Kennedy, Howard Metzenbaum, or Sarah Brady passes.... there is always another to replace them. I liked Ted's post questioning what meds he was on. At least that could explain some things.
