    How many psychos have burst into a school or courthouse and killed 10, 20, 30 people with a knife? A baseball bat?

    Guess you missed the news…it was a psycho in a grocery store that took a bunch out with a samurai sword. Oh, you must not watch the new.

    All the negative comments about Charlton Heston are without a doubt from people who don't have a clue about life in general. What a pack of dumbasses who promote having rights taken away from Americans. Haha, fucking idiots.

    Charlton Heston was on the front lines of the civil rights movement and upheld the rights of all Americans. He was a great man and a great American. He will be missed.

    Re: the world is a better place – And when some asshole breaks into my house to take everything I have, including my life, I'm going to shoot him with my gun. I just hope you liberal retards let me keep it long enough to defend myself from the wonderful society that the liberals are building.

    though he may be a wonderful actor (one of my favorites) he also represented a disgusting society of clowns whom support armed weaponry. HELL he's IS the face of gun related deaths.

    so sad? people die, now we have room to progress..

    now colman mccarthy, thats a REAL hero to respect. and he didnt have to be an actor to obtain it.

    There is NO NEED for guns in todays society. Instead of spending more money on making more guns and bullets, killing machines, and preventing these machines from killing, lets put that money toward making a difference and getting them off the streets. Today somebody was shot in tampa on the street in cold blood and ran endangering lives of families and children around him. ELIMINATE FIREARMS in the hands of civilians and lets start saving lives. What is wrong with our world today? Everybody is killing each other…war drugs crime….and the weapon of choice is a firearm….WAKE UP you mumbling sick idiots who need a gun to protect your family…grow some balls and go to the gym you fat dangerous sick slob. Want to hunt? Enjoy shooting a deer? Sick…gross…we no longer need to hunt for our own food….buy a hybrid car and some cloth shopping bags go to the god damn food store like a normal healthy happy unthreatening human being, SAVE THE WORLD…and stop killing deer for pleasure….its just unnecessary and cruel. Get rid of your gun and maybe parents around the world wont have to live in fear of my neighbor being a gun owner. the gun issue will not be solved by charlton hestons death so I do hope he rests in peace….as for the rest of you sick f***s….get help and safely get rid of your gun…before you accidentally kill somebody.

    Sad? P.I.P? The guy was the worst promoter of guns and thanks to him the gun lobby gained massive PR. He was an unspeakable jerk. With the amount of gun related violence in the States, kids who accidently shoot each others and themselves it is unforgivable to promote gun ownership. Guns=violence. Thankfully he will forever shut his shithole yapper up.

    Re: me – Hey retard, when every gang on the street has guns and every criminal can get a gun then I'm going to have one too. I'm not going to get killed because you think singing cumbaya and thinking happy thoughts will protect you from violent crime. this isn't about freaking hunting, this is about my RIGHT to protect MY life. Now please, focus on a sad day for a great actor and leave the gun bullshit out of it,.

    Re: me – wow, it's scary people like you that show just how dumb and such people have become. trying to take away guns from people will NEVER work. look at history. what your saying is bascially this… try taking away ALL spoons and forks. Let's just pretend they are bad… How you gonna do that? Tell me? Cuz they will always find a way. It's to late. And even if it wasn't then they'd stab people with Knives… you gonna outlaw knives next? It wont' work. Guns aren't the problem. You can't legislate morality. Crazy people will find a way somehow anyway. learn that please.

    Re: me – Hey ME, should I hope that you'll protect my family? I don't think so. I have four guns, two pistols and two rifles and when I see what goes on in this world, I'm damn glad I have them. I'm trained in their use, they are in a secure location away from children and if I need to, I'll use them. I'm a veteran and I'm not going to be killed by some crackhead breaking into my house when I survived Iraq. Grow the hell up.

    Um people kill other people cuz THEY are crazy. NOT guns. So what's next to all you gun control people? So they take away ALL guns. So then people start killing with knives…. So you out law knives too? Then they kill with pencils or bricks or hammers… you outlaw those too? Haha… stupid people. guns dont' kill people. PEOPLE kill people! We have a rite to bear arms. Gun control would do NOTHING to stop the crazy peeps from killing as they'd just find a different way. and THAT is a proven fact. Duh.

    Thanks for the laughs Tom! Yes, it's people like Mr. Heston that believe every citizen should have the right to DEFEND themselves against the crazy bastards out there that have contributed to countless deaths! It has nothing to do with all the gang-bangers, drug addicts and other CRIMINALS. I'm sure all of whom are NRA members who pay dues. *rolls eyes*

    "Heston campaigned for Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in 1956 and John F. Kennedy in 1960. When an Oklahoma movie theater premiering his movie was segregated, he joined a picket line outside in 1961. During the civil rights march held in Washington, D.C. in 1963, he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr., wearing a sign reading "All Men Are Created Equal." In later speeches, Heston said he helped the civil rights cause "long before Hollywood found it fashionable." Heston planned to campaign for Lyndon Johnson, but was unable when filming on Major Dundee went over schedule."

    I wonder if his fanatacism toward guns was because of the Alzhiemers? This Million MOm Marcher will never forgive him or the NRA for their almost glee shortly after the Kayla Rowland Issue in Flint. He stirred up the wrong people and the police told us they could not protect us outside the NRA rally because those inside had guns-legal or otherwise,

    Perez, appreciate you not mentioning anything about the NRA thing. Being an advocate for the NRA shouldn't overshadow his work in the film industry and I think it's good that you didn't write something dishonorable about him on here. Way to go and way to stick to what's important!

If he liked rifles so what? We have the right to bear arms in our constitution. So get a freakin' life and wish his family well. He was a great actor. I bet you don't even know how he stood for equality for minorites. So sad that people like him have to be get bashed by a bunch idiots. At least he will remembered. Who will remember you when you die???? Nobody!

    He was absolutely amazing in The Ten Commandments, even though I laugh hysterically watching that film, and I don't think it was meant to be a comedy. And who can forget Planet of the Apes! He was also very active in supporting SAG and AFTRA! But I wonder, does he now have a gun in his hands? I wonder if he will be buried with one. As he said, "From my cold dead hands"……and I mean that in the best way. I loved his tenacity even if I didn't always agree with his politics.

    263

    Some of the comments on here are really stupid, but I can't stand the NRA or every NRA bumper sticker toting card carrying member that fills up a closet full of lethal weapons when they live in the suburbs. There were like a dozen school shootings here in the U.S. alone in the last year (research, I'm not pulling that out of my ass, the media just decides not to care for more than a day if only a handful of students die) - and the perpetrators use a type of rifle most of the time (and the media misrepresents them as some other gun because they don't know the difference- sniper, machine gun, hand gun- nope) banning weapons would be stupid, but the laws need to change- this isn't the fucking revolutionary war anymore when the way dated amendment was written, and no British people are going to come knocking at your door and rape your wife- leave huge guns to the military and hunters- you don't need it for your protection and guns get used against the owners most of the time- they put you and your children in danger. It's retarded American machismo bullshit that you "deserve" to carry around something that just kills. Not that it matters from me, but condolences to his family.

    He's a formerly gun-toting, NRA Jack Ass, and I think it's groovy that he's gone! It's a shame he didn't blow his head off, and that was the cause of death!

    My guess is he hated gays too. Don't feel "so sad" for this guy. He was a right cunt, and we're better off without him :D Huck Charlton Feston!!!!

    His position was that all Americans have the right to own a rifle and defend themselves.

    Re: D – That's disgusting. "Niggah lover?" It's so sad to think that it is 2008 and people say things like that. Of course it's the internet, and you probably wouldn't say that in the "real world," not that you likely have friends there. Who said that gang violence and gun use were acceptable and Charlston Heston wasn't? Only you. Shut up, asshole. And you can't measure what his impact has been on gun violence or death whatsoever- like "they" say, guns don't kill people, people kill people- the people still defending the second amendment in its entirety.

    for all of you that bring up the whole 'gun thing' and try to say that heston had no sympathy toward the colombine shooing think again. you think a poorly documentated michael moore movie represents charleton heston? that movie was FULL OF LIES!and if you dont believe me google it yourslef…you cant believe everything you see.and seriously let the man rest in peace!

    276

    Sad… Not really.. He was a gun wielding hater of us gays. American to the core but you know one of those finatics that hates anyone who is different or doesn't agree with his politics. Sincerely sad for his family but the world is a better place without him.

  77. cincykids says – reply to this


    277

    you guys getting hung up on his gun views are morons because you probably have no idea of the hand he had in civil rights, he was right next to MLK at many events and contributed greatly to the cause.
    I enjoy a nice firearm and our forefathers paved the way for us to be allowed to do so if we choose. so quit hatting the man because of something that wasnt even the whole of who he was.

    279

    oh and for the people who called him a 'biggot' and racist, just to give you some background about him:he played an active role in the civil rights movements AND he was the first white actor to kiss a black woman in a film…..does that sound rascist to you? oh thats right thats not what michael moore said.

While I don't agree with Mr. Heston's views about guns, I don't wish death on anyone. However, he had a wonderful and long life, so I don't believe there's any reason to be sad really.

    284

    Guess who else promoted gun control? Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin. They succeeded. In the 20th century over 170,000,000 people died due to government genocide of it's own citizens. Gun control only advocates taking away firearms from civilians, the victims, not the government. Think about it. The 2nd amendment was introduced for Americans to protect themselves from enemies both foreign AND domestic. That means our own government, a bit harsh I know, but that's life. Gun control in America was first introduced to keep firearms out of the hands of blacks, the most helpless citizens at that time. I wish we all lived in that rainbow skies and gumdrop world that gun control advocates seem to live in, but we don't. Gun control takes firearms out of the hands of decent citizens and places them into the hands of criminals and oppressors. That is the ugly reality.

    I prefer to view it like this–like many others in his career, his personal life and opinions stole away the spotlight from his body of work. His opinions no more affect his work than Michael Jackson's run in's with the law affect the quality of his music.

    He did some amazing work, and stood for what he believed in A person of principals, and conviction– agree with him or not., and it's sad that he suffered so long before he passed.

    Re: wow – You can't legislate morality? What would you call our entire criminal code, dipshit? We have laws against murder, rape, theft, etc. because as a society we have deemed these things to be morally wrong. Think about what the hell you're saying before you spout off please!

    i'm almost positive that owning a gun and not caring if others own them legally shows that you are homophobic and/or racist. how those correlate in the minds of you all is beyond me. however, in my honest opinion, making guns illegal would not make gun crimes go down any further. most of the people who commit crimes with guns didn't even have the gun legally to begin with, so it wouldn't have effected their ability to obtain one. thinking of the columbine kids, does anyone know how they got possession of their guns? i don't believe kids of their age could get a gun, if i'm not mistaken. if you look at most crimes like school shootings, the kids stole them from the gun cabinet at home. at that point, i guess it comes down to bad parenting and detecting mental defects. getting back to mr. heston, i think he was a fantastic actor (and this is coming from a 19 year old girl) whom i've seen portray many characters in classic films. it's a tragedy that anybody has to die, i don't care if you believe in what they do or not.
