I just saw part of Planet of the Apes on TV last night. Crazy movie, but he was a good actor.
Quite a good movie I thought, but the other four in that series didn't live up to the first. Bad casting. But the one that came a few years ago was bloody good with extra worchester sause.

Well....he was old, not unexpected. Was he still head of the NRA?

<edit> Coming from a small town, when Clinton was in office a large portion of our town had bumper stickers that said "Charleton Heston is my President!"

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's not broken up about this.
I never gave a sh*t about his NRA affiliation.

I liked him as an actor.

I'd crack on Barack/Hillary/McCain if the earth saw fit to swallow up that trio of c*nts.

Until 2003.
Then Wayne LaPierre is the president of the NRA.

Duh, Austin
He was a great actor. Especially that thing where he said more guns will make this country safer.

Ever notice that the number of gun deaths is pretty consistently tied to the number of guns that a country owns?

As soon as someone can explain why every citizen of this country should have the right to have an AK-47 without using the phrase "2nd ammendment", then I'll pay attention. Of course, all of them forget the phrase "well regulated" that was actually in the damn ammendment.

Heston was great, but he jumped the shark.

real AK47s are banned. in some states people can buy semi-auto rifles that look like Kalashnikovs, but they are not AK47s. The semi-auto versions are banned in California, Massechusttes, New jersey, Maryland, and some other states.

The way I look at it, if I'm okay with guys doing each other and weed being legal, then the other people shouldn't tell me what I own safely in the confines of my home.

BTW why does every person who hates guns loves to bring up phrases like "AK47", "Rocket Launchers", "Full auto assault rifles", "M16s" when in fact all of them are already regulated under NFA and GCA of 86? Do you guys even read the laws that are already in the books or just ranting without reading?

I like they way you put that, but I'm not really in favor of too many restrictions either. Besides the fully-auto ban of course.
Cars kill people more than guns do. SUV's are more dangerous than a Tercel (RIP), but people have the right to choose which vehicle they own.
It doesn't mean they should own an Excursion for commuting, but if it makes your dick hard to own one, that's your right.
I see guns the same way. Especially when assauly rifles count for a nearly insignificant percentage of gun deaths. It's really just a dick thing, and people believe the propaganda and get scared

You know how many deaths were attributed to assault weapons during that bank robbery in LA by those guys in full body armor?
Zero. And that's the most famous case of assault weapon abuse I can remember.

This is definitely bad news for the film buffs. Sad to see him go.

I don't think our gun rights will be going anywhere, especially for those of us who like to sport shoot and hunt with our "scary assault rifles." I don't think we have enough political stomach or momentum for another weapons ban, because the first one didn't do anything anyway. If you want to make sure our rights stay protected, write your governor or congressman and thank them for their 2nd amendment support, or show that you support the 2nd amendment. The people dictate what goes on in the government of this country, and I wish we knew that.
