The huge death count.
The Deadly Force Episode, Broadway shoots Elisa by accident, as he was playing with her gun. A lot of blood in this episode too.
Humans turning to stone and Demona destroys a few of them in City of Stone.
There's alot more but can't think at the moment.

I just rewatched the Gargoyles Q&A from CONvergence, where Greg Weisman was asked how they managed to get away with some of the things in Gargoyles, and it came down to the fact that they had a really understanding S&P rep. "Pay a man enough and he'll walk barefoot through Hell," made it in because Hell is a place, in this isntance, not swearing. Deadly Force's gun violence was allowed, as long as actual real-world consequences were showed. Though I know later, the networks airing Gargs lost their guts and cut scenes with guns (even Elisa turning over her piece to be melted down) and refused to run Deadly Force.
