So, Charlton Heston is not nice for standing up for our constitutional rights? For Heston to do so in PC Hollywood shows what great integrity he had.

Oh how pathetic - "stand up for my constitutional rights" indeed. He stood up for ONE right and he was highly paid to do so. As I said before - FINALLY!

Your saying "finally" to his death is pathetic.

I understand your name now.

A great and talented man is dead and it's disgusting that some of you people are rejoicing in his death simply because he took a stand to protect our fast eroding 2nd amendment rights. HIS stand, for that ONE right, is far MORE than most of you pathetic, sniveling cowards will EVER manage to do. I, for one, think the work he performed as a staunch supporter and spokesman for the NRA was more important and influential than any of the roles he played on the screen.

REST IN PEACE SIR - you have earned it! God be with your family and friends.

Gun huggers are always living in fear that some elusive boggie man will come and take your rifle away preventing you from shooting rabbits or deer. Of course celebrity "spokesmen" pander to such fears, get paid and become "heros". What a shame the constitutional right to DISAGREE (dissent)and freedom of speech is not held with the same regard as that of gun ownership. Mr. Hestons great contribution to the NRA would not have been possible WITHOUT his Hollywood background. One "contribution" facilitated another. I fail to see how dislike for a celebrity spokesperson makes one a "sniveling coward". Sounds like some people are a little touchy, and a bit irritable. Perhaps a little overzealous. Do a background check at once.

You're glad he's dead? Confused

The strength of the second amendment guarantees the rest. Get over yourself. The mere fact that you can engage in the sort of written diarrhea that you continue to inflict on the rest of us is proof of the strength of the first amendment. Besides, there are tons of organizations frothing at the mouth over the first amendment, especially where it meets there agenda. Very few stand up for the second.

And as far as "being well paid", I'd challenge you to show how much the NRA paid Heston to stand up for the rights of gun owners.

Not glad. Not sad.

I would be sad for anyone that lost a husband, father, grandfather, and a friend.

I would suggest that it would be YOU that needs to "get over" anything. I really could not care less what you think. I guess we have a mutual feeling for one another.

As for Mr. Heston - he was paid for personal appearences in his role as spokesperson. Yes, indeed. As I recall he was once asked to appear at Mars Hill, but the invitation was revolked once they learned he had done beer commercials.

I am certainly sad for his family. I did not like him one bit and cannot feign great saddness over his passing. Like I said: Not glad-not sad.

Gun huggers? Yeah, okay...I have been known to snuggle up to my .45 when I was in the house alone at night. It makes a pretty nice bed mate too.

Your complete disconnection from reality is sad and frightening. This "elusive boogie man" you speak of is neither elusive nor a boogie man but are the libtard politicians and their rabid supporters who would like us all to believe that GUNS are the problem with society today and that their REMOVAL will immediately result in a peaceful utopia where we'll all sing kumbaya and get along famously. It's a gigantic crock of b.s. Gun ownership is the last protection WE (and by WE I mean law abiding citizens) have against our government getting TOO "protective" of us. As long as I have my gun, I can and will protect myself and I don't require anyone to do it for me. The ONLY people who will in any way benefit from gun control legislation are those who don't obtain their firearms through legal means to begin with. In other words, CRIMINALS. And in case you haven't been paying attention lately, they are getting away with more and more these days thanks to our increasingly politically correct legal system and the "it's not my fault" defense. Like good old Charlton said, you will take my guns from me when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers.
