Alzheimer's is a tough break.

Agree or not with his politics, Heston is a good guy.

Ouch, Alzheimer's and guns! Not a healthy combination.

Maybe his cold dead hands could no longer bear the weight of a gun.

I don't think he gave up his membership, just the leadership. Or were you just trying to make a joke?

Just a joke I believe... when Heston became the NRA president he held a rifle high above his head at the podium and said "From my cold, dead hands."

"Gun Control" means "Hitting Your Target"

I own guns and yes, I love them each and every one.  I am a gun nut and damned if I will go down quietly.

And Moses, thank you, thank you.....thank you.

to Heston for being the voice of the NRA and to the work accomplished there.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.
