Win Charlton Heston’s “My Cold Dead Hands” Rifle
Just found this while browsing through the cyber-sewer known as the NRA web site (http://www.nra.org/). Looks like yet another sign of gun lust to me... - Wayne

Win Charlton Heston’s “My Cold Dead Hands” Rifle.



Former NRA President Charlton Heston has donated his Winchester Model 1866 to be used as the Grand Prize in a membership drive and fundraiser. This exceptional firearm, handcrafted in 1870, is valued at over $25,000. It is truly one of the finest firearms ever made. Raised high in Charlton Heston’s hand it unleashed a revolution, rallying law-abiding gunowners, changing the course of elections and defeating the Clinton-Gore anti-gun machine.

3. Charlton Heston is an assclown.
And the NRA's political activism sucks.

That said, I support the individual right to keep and bear arms.

11. This is a great opportunity
If we all joined the NRA, won the rifle, and then destroyed it in a public ceremony, while attempting to use our new faction to influence the NRA to follow...uh...errr...yeah, I guess I am dreaming...

12. Unfortunately, That Would Work Against Us
Because the Nuts Ruining America would use the dues money to support RepubliKKKans.

13. I'll tell you what
Why don't you go to the bank, withdraw $25,000 in cash of your own money in $1 bills, and set fire to it on the courthouse steps while chanting "The NRA sucks!" over and over?

16. Thank you!
and no, I'n not being sarcastic. I don't usually go to the NRA website, and I probably wouldn't have known about this if you hadn't mentioned it. That would be a SWEET rifle and investment piece to own.
