Yesterday

Charlton Heston addressing the NRA's 129th convention in 2000. He held up a Revolutionary War-era flintlock rifle, declaring he'd refuse to allow the government to confiscate the gun, then called out Al Gore, running for president at the time.

However, government agents confiscating a legal firearm from a U.S. citizen, then shooting him ten times is OK...if he's a "liberal."
