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.

“Uh-uh. I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kind of lost track myself.”

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.

Someone was talking Bob Barr as the next guy in line to replace Chuck.
