Charlton Heston dies at 84

[Perd Hapley]

Zeke was using your behavior to explain why he would not allow you to bring a gun into his house.  Yet you don't seem to have posed a threat to anyone.  So, again, what's the point?

I disagree, note his comments about Heston. But, assuming your correct (we allow this from time to time  ), what exactly is so awful about ignoring stupidity, and having fun with a friend? Or am I missing something maybe? (Then again, you did note I wasn't exactly threatening anyone, perhaps my awesomeness at Army of Two is dangerous?)

[Perd Hapley]

Yeah, I saw that Zeke is sounding like a gun-grabber.  I was just pointing out that he wasn't making any sense. 

Which is why you wouldn't be armed in my home...

He apparently thinks that playing video games demonstrates that a person should be disarmed.

Watched "Omega Man" yesterday, and noticed that Heston's Neville went about town with a holstered sidearm and spare mag even when wearing a jogging suit. That's something "I Am Legend" failed to address, which ticks me off because a valiant life could've been saved had the new Neville done so.
"Omega Man" also made me glad that IR optics have gotten smaller.

Just doing my part to detract from the strange thread drift.

Thank you. 

Light-hearted comment removed by me.

Yah, when I first read the post I had a WTF moment. Reading his post reminded me of what it is like to watch SS talk religion.

DU-type reactions are reprehensible....but understandable....

I won't be exactly tearful when Mikey Moore chokes down his last Happy Meal.....

(sigh)  I, actually, think being in my home demonstrates that he needn't be strapped: it's somewhat insulting.

And Heston was a radical, but he made some excellent movies.

Would you like a side of gun-ban to go with your views?

How much does it cost to have your house crime-proofed these days?


About ignoring stupidity, I live in MD. . . some places you just have to do it if you want to keep your sanity for more than a few hours.

How is it insulting?  Is it insulting if someone climbs into your car and straps on a seat belt?  How much more ridiculous is it to condemn an apparent willingness to come to the defense of you and yours as insulting?

Seems to me that it would take a very special desire to be offended at that.

Regarding the thread's primary point, I was very sorry to hear that Charlton Heston died, but I was glad he had taken full advantage of a long and prosperous life.

Enough.

One of the more interesting points about Mr. Heston is that he was almost villified by liberals as being an extreme conservative.  But they ignore the fact that Mr. heston truly did march with Dr. King in favor of civil rights for all Americans, not just 2A for NRA members.  Let's honor the memory of all the man stood for, all rights for all Americans.

[Rocketman56]

Chris:  I agree with that comment..  Mr. Heston truly stood by what he believed.. (what he believed may have changed during his lifetime, but at least you knew
where he stood..)  One should respect someone like that, even if you don't agree with him..

To be honest, I knew that he had been associated with Dr. King, and also the NRA, but I had never really thought about it until
I read his speech before the Harvard Law School..  (Link: http://www.guntalk.com/uploads/CharltonHeston_02_16_99.pdf  Thanks, Tom!)
There are other links to it on the net.. (THR had a different one..)

Mr. Heston truly had his fingertips on the pulse of America..  Read the speech and I think you'll agree with me..

Farewell Mr. Heston and may you "Rest in Peace" and watch America right itself, and
return to its strengths and re-don the mantle of true freedom and greatness in the world community..

As for Heston...
I actually heard a good euleogy of him on CNN today.  Shocking.  Apparantly he was active in civil rights movement and an outspoken supporter of Desegregation.

The left would've canonized him if not for the 2nd Amendment stance.

Thanks for the link. That speech was wonderful.

Yes, he was for all civil rights. He considered 2A a civil right. Which it is.

Voting is a civil right.  Being armed is a natural right.  But that's sort of like the distinction between republic and democracy, in that no one cares anymore.

A surprisingly astute observation Fistful.

I never knew (until now) about his work with Dr. King either. He really was an inspiring man.

I'm not kidding, folks.
