06 Apr 08 from my cold, dead hands .. RIP Charlton Heston (despite the attitude)

Well.. Charlton Heston was one of those iconic figures that quickly managed to fall from my graces.. so to speak, when he came out with his stance on gun control. His infamous “from my cold, dead hands” speech with regards to his 2nd amendment right to bear arms and unabashed zeal for the NRA really overshadowed any respect I had for his illustrious acting career.

That being said, while I may not believe in the blind acceptance of a right to bear arms, I most certainly believe in the First Amendment … so

Rest in Peace, Mr. Heston.
