Its a sad day for all gun owners and good americans.

I am truly dismayed to hear of Mr. Heston's death, he was a good actor and a stalwart defender of our second admendment rights. Back in the eighties I wrote Mr. Heston inviting him to participate in the 175th  anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans. Which he graciously refused, in his answer to my letter siting other commitments. Later I purchased "In The Arena" his autobiography, which I requested he sign, he agreed and I now have his autobiography signed by him and the letter he wrote in answer to my invitation that he take part in the 175th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans as General Andrew Jackson.

He was a great actor and defender of our right to bear arms.

Won't ever be forgotten.  When people like him go, I wonder who's left.  Then I think about who the heroes are for kids today and I don't feel so good.  Where have you gone, Charlton Heston?

Today, my heart is heavy with the loss of Charlton Heston.

America has lost a great patriot. The Second Amendment has lost a faithful friend. So have I, and so have four million NRA members and eighty million gun owners. And so has every American who cares about the Bill of Rights, individual liberty, and Freedom.

My heart is heavy, but not without a sense of pride. Pride in a man who devoted his life to his profession with grace and dignity. Pride in an American who devoted himself to civil rights, to correcting injustices around him, and to standing up for what he knew was right. Pride in a friend who stood with me and stood with fellow NRA members to preserve our freedom for future generations. Pride in a patriot who believed with every fiber of his being that our Bill of Rights is the foundation of our freedom that makes Americans singular among the masses of nations.

And now, Charlton Heston has passed that duty to us – the next generation. I am as proud to continue his cause, as I am to have known him as my friend.

But today, my thoughts cannot leave the Heston family. They have always had my utmost respect and admiration and, today, they have my deepest sympathy and most earnest prayers. And they will always have my friendship.
