apperently he was very involved with civil rights & against th vietnam war though, so don't shoot him down totally...
Heston campaigned for Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in 1956 and John F. Kennedy in 1960.[9] When an Oklahoma movie theater premiering his movie was segregated, he joined a picket line outside in 1961.[10] During the civil rights march held in Washington, D.C. in 1963, he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr. In later speeches, Heston said he helped the civil rights cause "long before Hollywood found it fashionable."[11]
In 1968, following the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Heston appeared on The Joey Bishop Show and, along with fellow actors Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas and James Stewart, called for public support for President Johnson's Gun Control Act of 1968.[12][13] He also opposed the Vietnam War and voted for Richard Nixon in 1972.[14]
By the 1980s, Heston opposed affirmative action, supported gun rights and changed his political affiliation from Democratic to Republican.[15] He campaigned for Republicans and Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan,[16] George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.[17]

Chuck Heston is out, I nominate Chuck Norris to the NRA.

He went to my high school. I was very proud of that fact.
I disliked his politics but I favor the NRA. The more big brother pries into our personal lives the more I feel gun ownership is a good idea.- why were you proud? wtf?mrdobolina
- crazy kid.
gun ownership is retarded.
tank02 - Yes, that shotgun and glock of yours will do awesome against a Bradley Fighting Vehicle..TheBlueOne
- Why is gun ownership a good idea? Give me one retarded reason.arthur

it's true that chuck was to the nra as is tom cruise to the scientology
- Ianbolton0
he only drove Corvettes? Holy shit, this guy is amazing. I'm a proud human being, isn't that a million times more important than being a proud American?

I'm not sure how gun ownership and big brother go hand in hand... is it to protect ourselves from big brother(?)... because I think all that would happen is we'd end up turning against ourselves in crazy times while big bro woud laugh.
Regardless of that, I didn't know much about CH... not much I can say except I wish he hadn't pushed for the NRA so hard.

You're just jealous. Heston was a great American second only to Ronald Regan.
