I like to think he represented a bizarre sort of Hollywood karma, heading the NRA to balance out all the lefties in the movie industry. That way they break even.
Only if you consider aiding and abetting gun crime in the US some kind of karmic retribution for irritating self-righteousness. Though he had that too, in spades.
Man, who pissed in your cheerios? The guy made movies and supported educated, lawful gun ownership. You act like he was out raping babies while dressed as Hitler.
Supporting individual gun rights legislation (which is now likely to be SCOTUS precedent) is actually worse than shooting someone in the face. Didnt' you get the memo?

All I mean is that there are liberals in hollywood, and then there is Charleton Heston and Tom Selleck, evening out the PH levels, so that we can hear both extremes of the matter and nothing in between.
No point in arguing about gun crime though, you have your coughwrongcough opinion, and I have my good opinion, nothing will change that.

Fuck Charlton Heston. I'm not saying he deserved to die, or that I'm glad he's dead, but I am saying that it's my opinion that he didn't do much to make the world a better place while he was here.
The dude picketed his own movie because the theater it was showing in was segregated.

But he liked guns so you know, obviously he was pure evil.
You know those evil right-wing nutjobs and their civil rights.
Yeah, because the Second Amendment clearly states that all individuals have the unrestricted personal right to firearms. Oh, wait...
There may be a difference between the NRA's stance and Heston's personal one, but if he was willing to subordinate whatever he believed to the lobbying agenda, he can't have been all that dedicated.
I didn't hear about the picketing thing, though. That's cool.

Its okay, we don't blame you for being an ignorant pickleface who thinks people should die without justifiable reasoning...
I didn't say that he should die, just that I don't think what he chose to do with much of his life (NRA) was of any help to his country, or indeed, his species.

Actually the Second Amendment doesn't clearly state anything, which is why there's so much debate over what it states, and so much interpretation in the law. Your interpretation doesn't make you right.

The Second Amendment is always in limbo. It's constantly argued over. Hell, people can't agree if a fucking comma is actually in there or not as it appears with and without it depending on what document of the time you're reading.

I think the glory of the United States is that there are people on either side, adamant about their opinion, so that whatever happens, it takes years for either side to win. When things happen to quickly people get angry and start killing and warring on each other.
When we've got Heston and the Bushes on one side, and the Clintons and the Screen Actors Guild on the other side, guns cannot be outlawed, but autos and silencers are too hard to acquire.
The thing that bothers me is the fluctuations. During a Clinton reign I can not go out and buy anything higher then a ten round magazine, and alecthar gets some chuckles with his buddies. During the Bush reign, I get to buy whatever I want, and my friends get the lulz.

Man, who pissed in your cheerios? The guy made movies and supported educated, lawful gun ownership. You act like he was out raping babies while dressed as Hitler.
Supporting individual gun rights legislation (which is now likely to be SCOTUS precedent) is actually worse than shooting someone in the face. Didnt' you get the memo?
Especially since the NRA has a school curriculum about gun safety, of which the points it constantly drives home are:
1) If you find a gun, don't touch it.
2) Tell the nearest adult.
3) Don't touch the fucking gun JUST LEAVE IT THERE

Those callus bastards! Telling our children not to touch guns! What monsters!

You forgot the part where they teach the children how to shoot, probably shortly before or after sending support to Jack Thompson for getting rid of video games he says teach kids to shoot.
And how is "cold, dead hands" responsible ownership?

Yes because teaching people how to use a weapon that is going to be in a house is SUCH a bad thing. Horrible, worse than rape. Instead we should just never let them touch it and just hope they don't get curious enough to one day try to use it on their own and blow their heads off.
Also, the cold, dead hands comment was pretty responsible, in the same why someone might say 'you're going to have to take my right to vote from my cold, dead hands'.
Defending personal beliefs, I never knew that would be irresponsible.

He was born in 1923. He lobbied for the 1968 gun control act. He wasn't involved with the NRA until the late 80s and wasn't president of the NRA until 1998 and retired from, well, everything, in 2003. Define "much." 20 years out of 85?
It took me all of 2 minutes to find that on Wikipedia.
He was also a civil rights advocate. Generally for all personal liberties, both not hating the black folk and for responsible gun ownership. Imagine, people being trusted to do the right thing.

Hey.
Don't forget Kurt Russell.
The dude picketed his own movie because the theater it was showing in was segregated.
But he liked guns so you know, obviously he was pure evil.
I hate to tell you this, but everyone else has already made this joke.
You can take my humour from my cold, dead jokes!
Also, regardless of what kind of person he was, he deserves the jokes for saying that line without a hint of self-irony.
