he shot her in the head
in front of me.

- I have only five words for you:
:35:15
From my cold, dead hands.

- Just 10 days after
the Columbine killings,

:35:22
despite the pleas
:35:23
of a community in mourning,
:35:26
Charlton Heston came to Denver
and held a large pro-gun rally

:35:29
for the National
Rifle Association.

:35:31
- Good morning.
[ crowd ]: Good morning.

:35:35
Thank you all
:35:36
for coming and thank you for
supporting your organization.

:35:41
I also want to applaud your
courage in coming here today.

:35:45
I have a message
from the mayor,

:35:49
Mr. Wellington Webb,
the mayor of Denver.

:35:51
[ booing ]
:35:53
- No, no, no, no, no.
:35:56
He sent me this,
:35:59
and it says: "Don't come here.
We don't want you here."

:36:03
I said to the mayor,
"This is our country.

:36:07
As Americans we're free
to travel wherever we want

:36:11
in our broad land."
[ applause ]

:36:22
Don't come here?
We're already here.

:36:26
[ cheering ]
:36:33
- I am here today...
:36:36
because my son Daniel
would want me to be here today.

:36:50
If my son Daniel
was not one of the victims,

:36:54
he would be here with me today.
