The great actor Charlton Heston died this weekend at the age of 84. Why he was rightfully best known for his prolific career as an actor, including his heroic rolls in The Ten Commandments, Planet of the Apes, and Ben-Hurr, there is also something to be said about his political activism which went strongly against the Hollywood grain. For five years he served as the president of the NRA, and the video linked shows his most famous moment in that capacity as he responded to efforts by the Clinton administration to curtail gun-ownership rights.
