Several years ago in 2000 after
the Columbine masacre when
Charlton Heston was president
of the NRA, he gave a speech
to the members claiming
(and here I’ll paraphrase him):
They (the governmemt) would
have to pry his gun from his cold
dead hands. Well, fatefully
Heston is dead now. Unfortu-
nately, thousands of innocent
unarmed people (including
children) have been victims
of gun violence preceding and
following him to the grave.
I wish that I believed in a just
and reputed God. I would pray
that Heston and his kind be
damned to hell for complicity
to the heinous slaughter.
And for Governor Abbott, Senator
Ted Cruz of Texas and the like,
I’d pray for the same. Not to be
offended, dear reader, apparently
God has “better things” to do than
act on a plea for the innocents
from me.
