(CNSNews.com) – Charlton Heston, the former actor and president of the National Rifle Association who died in 2008, gave a speech in 2000 in defense of the Second Amendment, ending with his oft-repeated and now famous phrase, “From my cold, dead hands!” The phrase has since become synonymous with gun rights in America.
Heston was referring to attempts by anti-gun organizations and certain liberals, particularly then-Vice President Al Gore, to further restrict Americans’ right to own firearms.
