He sure isn’t Charlton Heston either.

Can Clint Eastwood Outshoot the Big Boys of Washington?
Aired May 18, 2000 - 7:30 p.m. ET

EASTWOOD: Yes, I've always supported a certain amount of gun control. I don't -- I think California has always had a mandatory waiting period, so we were never concerned about it like the rest of the country. Some states didn't have any at all. So I've always supported that. I think it's very important that guns don't get in the wrong hands, and, yes, I would support most of that. I don't know too much about trigger locks. I've never really discussed that with anyone. But I do feel that guns -- it's very important to keep them out of the hands of felons or anyone who might be crazy with it.

PRESS: So what do you say -- I don't know whether you're a member of the NRA or not. But what do you say to your friend Charlton Heston, who opposes all three, opposes any gun control measures?

EASTWOOD: Well, I don't agree with him on that, if that's his position. I haven't talk to him about it. When he first became one of the spokesmans for the NRA, I thought it was a good thing. I thought at least, well, if the guy's maybe putting his money where his mouth is, then he's going to go in there and enact some reform. And that would be a good thing, rather than just talk like most people do. But so far, they still seem to be stuck on one position of anti-any reform.

Unfortunately, what happens is they get pressured. They don't want to be pressured. Both sides get their heels dug in the mud because they don't want to be pressured on their stance there. I think that both sides have a point. When you say that there's a lot of laws that aren't even...

PRESS: Enforced.

EASTWOOD: ... enforced in this country, and then you -- and then the NRA says they want those done prior to gun control, or at least simultaneous with. Whether that will happen or not, I don't know, because both sides are kind of dogmatic.
