The passing of a great man

Someone I feel we all owe a debt of gratitude to, passed away yesterday. Charleton Heston died at the age of 84. whether you are a member of the NRA or not, or whether you liked Mr Heston as a man or actor, he was the face of gun ownership in this country for many years as the head of the NRA. For this reason, all us shooters and hunters should reflect on what an already famous individual, who likely lost friends for standing up for our 2nd Ammendment rights, meant for us. I consider him to have been a great man and maybe even a Greater champion of our rights. God Bless his soul and God Bless our great counrty. Thanks for listening.

Yep, he was always one of my favorites. The nation has lost another good one! Rest in peace, Mr. Heston!
