They Don't Make 'Em Like Heston Anymore

The great Charlton Heston has died after a long bout with Alzheimer's Disease.

Apart from his major accomplishments as an actor, Heston was one of the most ardent defenders of liberty, particularly the right to carry arms.

One of his most famous lines was not from one of his many memorable movies but from his days as the President of the National Rifle Association:

'You can take my rifle only when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.'

Thanks, Mr. Heston, for articulating what many of us feel. May we never lose faith. And may you rest in peace.
