Charlton Heston died a couple of days ago. I just returned from a weekend of camping when i heard this. This is a sad thing. Not only was he a great actor in such epics as the Ten Commandment, Ben Hur, and Planet of the Apes. He was also an early Hollywood-type to support the Civil Rights and even walked with Rev. King in 1063 in Washington D.C. Initially a supporter of the Gun Control Act of 1968, due to the assassinations of Rev. King and Bobby Kennedy.
He later became the President of the N.R.A. and was extremely proactive is gun control rights. He was not perfect as a Gun Supporter and gave into some new laws that hurt gun owners, but he was a very forward and verbal 2nd-Amendment supporter.
