I was 11 years old living in a small town about 150 miles from Detroit and remember all the men cleaning and loading their long guns.

From C. Heston:


  "Most people in the film community are unfamiliar with firearms 
  and many oppose them, some quite virulently," Heston wrote. "During
  the L.A. riots in 1992, a good many of these folk suffered a change
  of heart. As smoke from burning buildings smudged the skyline
  and the TV news showed vivid images of laughing looters smashing
  windows and carting off boomboxes and booze, I got a few phone 
  calls from firmly anti-gun friends in clear conflict. 'Umm, Chuck,
  you have quite a few . . . ah, guns, don't you?'

 'Yes, I do.'

 'Shotguns and . . . like that?'

 'Indeed.'

 'Could you lend me one for a day or so? I tried to buy one, but
  they have this waiting period . . . '
