Some sad news to share with everyone — actor Charleton Heston has passed away. His death, at the age of 84, was announced by family and friends this morning. Mr. Heston was a very popular, and talented actor, as well as a cherished activist for 2nd Amendment Rights.

Many of you know Charleton Heston from his amazing movie roles; as Moses in The Ten Commandments, in Antony & Cleopatra, and in Ben-Hur. Those are the movies I watched of his when I was younger. He was truly an amazing actor. To see a complete list of the movies and appearances he has made over the year, please check out his bio at the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) - Charleton Heston.

During the 80s and 90s he made headlines on a fairly regular basis as a spokesperson for the NRA (National Rifleman’s Association). This brought criticism from the liberals and “gun grabbers”, but just like in his acting, he was a staunch and at time fierce proponent and never backed down from a “fight”. I didn’t agree with all of his (and the NRA’s) stances, but I definitely respect him for defending our Constitution. Would that there were more in Hollywood with his integrity, and his point of view.

Rest in peace, Mr. Heston.
And may God bless your family and friends with grace,
strength and comfort as they mourn your passing…
