A few quotes:

NRA CONVENTION
June 6, 1998

"...Mr. Clinton, sir, America didn't trust you with our health-care system. America didn't trust you with gays in the military. America doesn't trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don't trust you with our guns.."

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––-
SPEECH TO NATIONAL PRESS CLUB
September 14, 1997

...I simply cannot stand by and watch a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States come under attack from those who either can't understand it, don't like the sound of it, or find themselves too philosophically squeamish to see why it remains the first among equals: Because it is the right we turn to when all else fails. That's why the Second Amendment is America's first freedom...

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Nice.

He is kinda like an early Bill Shatner, but he's still awesome!

Confession time: as actors, I never liked Charlton Heston or Burt Lancaster. As men, I have no opinion.

And people here think I'm crazy!

I still remember watching his NRA ads on the NRA site years ago.
"mr. clinton, when what you say is wrong, that is a mistake. When you KNOW it's wrong, that's a lie."

I also can't see how the real Moses could have been any different from his.

On my wedding night, wife and I stayed in a local hotel, the only one with a suite. The first thing I noticed was a plaque saying the Charlton Heston had stayed there. 10.5 years later I'm still married and the wife doesn't complain too bad about my gun habit. Did Chuck's aura in the honeymoon suite have something to do with it?

Quoted:

Heston spoke on the radio in favor of the 68 gun control act and thought Ak-47's and assault weapons should be banned . No love for a Fudd. he was Zimbo before his time. Notice you never see him with a semi always a Fudd gun.

This.

Some people here must have short memories. Heston was a pure fudd.

Nope, a private collector from CT, supposedly a lawyer... the only way that could be Hestons is if the MG's were replaced with a room full of side x side shotguns, over & unders, flintlocks, & bolt actions.

No, it is not. I personally know whose Material-World Nirvana this is and he is still quite among the living. A non-disclosure agreement prevents me from saying anything else.

Quoted:

Charles Heston was a 1990's icon of the gun rights movement which pre-dates 90% of this site's involvement with firearms.

He was president of the NRA until 2003....

No, I haven't forgot. But I think he made up for it later in his life.

We (at least most of us) have made mistakes in our lives, especially when we are young. I know that I did so I'm not willing to hate the man for a mistake he has owned up to. He did a great job with the NRA defending our rights.

Let those that have never made a mistake throw the first stone at the man. I will not.

He did say this about it:

"I was young and foolish." - Explaining his endorsement of the Gun Control Act of 1968

And things were different in 1968, but you had to have been there to really understand what was going on in this counrty at the time. Many of us did and said things then that we totally disagree with today.

Not many people ever take responsibility for their mistakes, he did.
