Yeah, really sticking it to the institution, Michael.. chasing an old man around his house with the photo of a murdered kid as though he was the guy that pulled the trigger.

What Michael Moore was actually doing was pointing out that its not guns that kill people, its the idiots who use them that do that. Heston was targeted because he was the head of the NRA. Yes Heston was a good actor (and very probably a nice person in real life), but as YV pointed out he overshadowed that with the whole rifle issue.

and the news channels here in the UK didnt waste any opportunity to show the "from my cold,dead hands" clip just to emphasise the point
The 'cold dead hands' thing was on all of the reports here.
ABC News played this on their report.

When I watch this clip though, I officially don't care about his rifle fixation.

Charlton Heston was an ACTOR. And one hell of an actor. Actors are used to weeks, sometimes months of preparation, yet all I'm hearing about is when he got blind-sided by fat-ass Michael Moore.
Heston did more in one year of his life than Moore ever will. And if you think that his NRA / pro-gun stance was his legacy, you're as foolish as the ones who swallow those Moore documentaries as fact. Heston was all about preserving the rights of citizens that we deemed necessary for over 200 years.
If you look back early in European history, you $#@!ers did a hell of a lot crazier shit than believing you have a right to bear arms. What about being Drawn and Quartered? Why was that such an acceptable party tradition back in the day? You had to buy tickets to some of those!!!
