the protests held against the enter a convention to place ten days after columbine. if you would what happened at columbine on april twentieth one thousand nine hundred ninety nine was that two two young men who were intent on killing as many students as they could they opened fire on students outside and then went when confronted with a police presence they went inside the school. began shooting there went into the library that's where they they killed and injured the most students and that's that's where my son was it went worse as the day went on. no word from him being asked by the police if we could provide a description of him and what he was wearing at one point asking for dental records. and being told one point that there was one last school bus bringing students back from columbine. when you're waiting for forty five minutes for a bus that should have only taken a couple of minutes i then began to realize that there was no last school bus. how old was daniel when he died fifteen. or. seventeen years ago when we last met i think it ended in tears for me beca

back from columbine. when you're waiting for forty five minutes for a bus that should have only taken a couple minutes i then began to realize that there was no last school bus. how old was daniel. fifteen. seventeen years ago when we last met i think it ended in tears for me because i realized again what i what i would do if they came to take my gun that would be the end of it for. this country for sure and i'm not willing to hand that over. no i'm able to do it and i know i would do it. protect my rights. the rights of my friends the rights of my loved ones the rights of this country. but you mean all struggle. for i don't think so. are we or i wouldn't let it go easily and probably not while i'm living. i feel like there are a lot of gun owners out there who don't take the responsibility of owning guns carrying guns storing guns i don't think they take it seriously enough why the resistance to regulation. because it leads to more regulation. that's too slippery of a slope we can't have laws to protect

and it was only about 30 miles from where columbine took place. drop out of this one, let it cool down. my beliefs don't depend upon what happens outside. i still believe in what i think is americans rights, their first amendment rights -- on second amendment rights. getting my amendment amendments -- he went and did that meeting and that cost 11 years of blacklisting in hollywood. what is interesting and ironic about that is that the children of the blacklist generation, when hollywood was in the grip of the right, all grew up to the left, and blacklisted all the people on the right. so, the irony of that is to me profound. the generational shift and what they did. so that parent they saw as having done something awful and they wound up doing the same thing. but when the left does it, there's a certain implied nobility. when the right dot is, a certain implication of evilness, and i find that fascinating. so, a lot of what i've written in my biography is a journey of heston as a man, as a filmmaker, as a star, and as a political figure, and i don
