Got Gold? Got Guns? Got Guts? Got Gold Stocks? OT(?) Nation: Charlton Heston expects another year leading NRA By JOSH FREED, Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. (May 20, 2001 10:53 a.m. EDT) - Igniting a stomping, cheering ovation, Charlton Heston raised a Revolutionary War musket above his head Saturday after predicting he would be re-elected to one more term as president of the National Rifle Association. Later, Interior Secretary Gale Norton called NRA members "America's unsung conservation heroes" and praised them as important partners in President Bush's plans to reduce gun violence. Heston told NRA members at the 130th annual convention that he had intended to give his farewell speech this year, but was asked to serve an unprecedented fourth one-year term. The NRA's board of directors will elect a president Monday. "Of course, we can't predict the outcome of the election, but chances are pretty good I'll postpone my farewell address another year," Heston said to the standing, cheering crowd. Heston congratulated NRA members for helping elect Bush, the group's top political goal last year, and portrayed them as defenders of freedom. "You are of the same lineage as the farmers who stood at Concord Bridge at the start of the Revolutionary War," he said. Presented with a mint-condition musket from that war, Heston held it above his head and said, "I have only five words for you: From my cold, dead hands." The crowd roared. (cont) nandotimes.com
