He wasn't looking too good. I wonder how long he was operating in that condition as president. I often wondered the same thing about Ronald Reagan.

NRA is too extreme for me. They should be supporting rifles, not handguns imho . But seriously, they fight every gun law, even if the gun law is a good law. I know, if we give them an inch, they will evenentually take a mile. I suppose they feel that once you give in, they will eventually strive to outlaw guns. But I don't feel that way.

The guy they trot out to speak to the Media was a lot bigger gun-nut than Heston was, and Heston at least was and is socially centrist.

Those damn dirty Apes finally did it.

to Heston. A great American, he dedicated himself fully to protect one of our most precious constitutional freedoms. May the NRA continue to be the great force in American politics it has been.

One of the cruel ironies of Charlton Heston stepping down is the obvious need to keep guns out of the hands of certain people - like Alzheimer's patients. I wonder if the NRA would support legislation that prohibited its high-profile ex-president from owning guns. Sadly, I can probably guess the answer.

I also agree...

Ted was on a local radio station the day after Heston stepped down... and that was the first question asked of him...

While he never said... YEAH, GIVE IT TO ME... he pretty much implyed he would like it if the rest of the board thought so (he is a member of the board of directors already)

He would be good for the job, because he seems to understand that "GOOD LAWS" need to be enforced.
He doesn't seem to come across that ANY law is a bad law. Ted isn't a RABID gun freak, just a concerned person who wants to see reasonable laws.

I hope he gets the position.

yeah but he usually uses a bow and arrow for hunting. Other NRA guys might not like that.

My uncle uses a bow and arrow as well for hunting. That seems more natural to me. I do support hunting. But lately its not much of a challenge. Any redneck can get a deer now days. It should be something that requires skills. So maybe they should outlaw hunting with guns.

The NRA has far too much influence and should be crubed, but just as much as all other PAC's. I ahve no problem with hunting or target practice, but if the gov. can regulate speech, religion, and the press, and curb the definitions of the 4th, 5th and 6th ammendments, it can damn well regulate guns and the second.

It already does, and if not for the NRA there would be no hunting or target practice.

Please! There has never been a large movement to ban those activities by the anti-gun corwd, maybe the animal rights folks, but not the anti-gun crowd. They care more about handguns and automatic rifles: I have never seen any bill even come up that would ban the use of regular shot-guns or non-automatic rifles.

I fully support the heavy regulation of handguns and automatic rifles, though handgun regulation is more important.

How come we never see adds that say: "US gun shows, helping terrorist get thier hands on weapons"? (and yes, since the US is one of the biggest markets for guyns, were else do you think these people get some of these weapons?)

Maybe because most terrorists have AK-47s, not M-16s.

because M-16's are crap

But seriously, the Europeans have a large gun manufacturing sector. They make some quality guns. Barretta, Glock etc. In fact many american manufacturers aren't what they used to be.

So Americans having guns is actually helping the European economy

You know, there are many other types of guns out there..you must not be a NRA member, otherwise you would know about the wonderful world of guns!

Oh, and I bet you 100 dollars that you will see AK-47;s and AK-74's at any major gun show you go to in the US.
