Charlton Heston Is Dead

<< < (6/9) > >>

Narr:
I didn't know gun control was in issue that genuinely evoked hate in people.  I agree with what Nodaisho said.  Making more laws when people are breaking the ones already in place really is like putting barbed wire on a fence with a tunnel under it.  (Awesome anaology, man.)

I say let's remember him as a magnificent actor and an advocate for freedom.

R.I.P., Mr. Heston.

Meh when the NRA Vans roll into town DIRECTLY after a horrible shooting and they tramp out that old fool to sway people, you know I don't care. Fuck it. I am really, really pleased he is dead. There's a lot of alzheimers in my family. I'll probably go down in a indistinct blaze of incomprehension. I'll end up shitting myself and muttering "...fucking Moses...suck a gun..dirty apes..." Or something.

Narr:
In general, yelling "I'm so happy" in a thread that's a memoriam to someone is a good way to become really unpopular really fast.

Guns can do pretty destructive things, no one is doubting that, but hating on someone that thinks it's our right to be able to own them is pretty silly.

Surgoshan:
It's true, though, that on several occasions, the NRA did in fact come right in and hold pro-gun rallies immediately after a shooting.

Just as hating on someone at his funeral could be seen in poor taste, so can coming into town and screaming "Guns are awexome!" right after a massacre or a tragedy at an elementary school is also in very poor taste, and the man could rightly be criticized for leading the organization that did so.

Nodaisho:

Well, I suppose I should be glad you were so vocal about it, that way I know who to completely ignore, and who to taunt when someone he admires is dead, though I will have the decency to do it in PMs, rather than angering all people that liked the person.

Throughout his life, the man stood for what he believed, that is something that should be admired, even if you don't agree with what he believes.
