The United States Postal Service has announced that former NRA President Charlton Heston will be honored with his own stamp. The stamp is part of their Legends of Hollywood series, and while the specific issue date has not yet determined, it will be issued sometime in 2014.
Heston was a five term president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003. He was a tireless advocate for Second Amendment rights and will always be remembered by the NRA faithful for his cold, dead hands speech delivered at the 2000 NRA Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The speech was directed to then presidential candidate Al Gore.

Behold His mighty hand. Thanks diverteach.
We watched Skyjacked on DVD last night. Vintage Heston.
Someone at the Post Office had better make sure that their tax documents are in order.
I also seem to recall a photo of him marching for civil rights (for blacks). THAT would make liberals heads spin, too.
Paging Jim Carrey. :-)
Heston walked the walk and talked the talk. He marched with MLK when it was not fashionable for Hollywood white folks to do so. Ironically he is vilified by the revisionists of the Civil Rights movement and Democrats. It does show that gun grabbers and those currently making and espousing laws for more gun control are nothing more than communists and hypocrites.
I will buy this stamp...
Former Supreme Court Justice Stevens wants to Rewrite Second Amendment
Posted on February 22, 2014 by Gary DeMar
John Paul Stevens served on the Supreme Court from 1975 to 2010, the second longest tenure of all Supreme Court justices. Fortunately for freedom-loving Americans, he cant do any more damage. Of course, this hasnt stopped the present crop of justices from significantly remaking America into their own misguided image.
His latest book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, is an inside look into the mind of a Supreme Court Justice, and its not a pretty sight. Stevens has been described as a Midwest Republican conservative that became a hero of the political left.
In his book, Stevens proposes that the Second Amendment be changed from this . . .
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
. . . to this:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the militia shall not be infringed.
Stevens shows by his call for the addition of when serving in the militia that the original meaning referred to private citizens (people) and not only people serving in the military....
Makes one nostalgic for pre-sissy America, ehh ?
I think we need a Cecil B. DeMille stamp, too.
(A man who gave up his nationwide radio show rather than
be forced by his union to contribute $1.00 to a cause
the union supported but he didn’t.)
Looks like he’s on the nod there.
I will buy that stamp and use it to annoy liberals.
This stamp might put the postal service in the black.
I would buy that stamp too... Thanks for sharing.
But oh,how he could act.
