Too bad he took up with the NRA in later years; in my humble opinion, that colored everything he did, before or after. Not a nice person.

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!

You're glad he's dead?

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.

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.

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.
