Rest in Peace... job well done!

Thank you and good-bye to Charlton Heston, best know to most gun owners not as the actor who supported 2nd Amendment rights, but as the best president the NRA has probably ever had. The image of him with a flintlock rifle raised above his head, commenting to Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore, saying "from my cold dead hands!" is iconic for most 2nd Amendment right supporters. He pretty much changed the landscape of politics when it came to gun issues and did it with class and style. Job well done. Maybe someday another similar personality like his will take the president's position and do a good of a job. Some people would say Ted Nugent might make for an interesting NRA president. "Interesting" would be an understatement!

Remember that the 2nd Amendment is the 2nd one on the list... right behind the freedom of speech, religion and press.... standing behind to insure that the First is protected!

Later!
