- Just as he did
1:29:05
after the Columbine shooting,
Charlton Heston showed up
1:29:08
in Flint to have
a big pro-gun rally.
1:29:11
- Freedom has never seen
1:29:13
greater peril nor needed
you more urgently
1:29:17
to come to her defence than now.
1:29:19
- Before he came to Flint,
Heston was interviewed
1:29:21
by the Georgetown Hoya
about Kayla's death,
1:29:25
and even his own NRA website
talked about it.
1:29:27
- We wanted to let the NRA know
that we haven't forgotten
1:29:30
about Kayla Rolland.
1:29:32
How could they come here?
To me, it's like they're rubbing
1:29:34
our nose in it. I was shocked
1:29:37
and appalled that
they would come here.
1:29:38
- Heston was asked by a local
reporter why he came to Flint
1:29:42
after the tragedy at Buell,
1:29:44
and what did the NRA
have to say
1:29:46
about six-year-olds using guns.
1:29:48
- We spend $20 million every year
1:29:53
and then we teach you...
to five and six-year-olds,
1:29:57
we say, "If you see a gun,
don't touch it,
1:30:00
leave the room, call an adult."
1:30:02
- And then Moses himself
showed up.
1:30:05
- Right here in the city
of Flint?
1:30:07
- Right here in Flint.
1:30:09
- Were there people that wanted
you to try this child,
1:30:11
Arthur Busch
County Prosecutor, Flint, Michigan
1:30:13
or even try him as an adult?
- Oh... Oh, yeah.
1:30:16
There were people from all over
America that wrote and called
1:30:20
and sent mail and...
It was amazing to me, um...
1:30:25
groups that were affiliated
with the NRA -
1:30:28
groups, you know, people
that I call "gun nuts" -
1:30:32
writing me and telling me
what a horrible thing it was
1:30:35
that I had admonished homeowners
in our country
1:30:39
to be careful about bringing
weapons into their home.
1:30:43
They wanted this little boy
hung from the highest tree.
1:30:47
I mean, there was such
an undercurrent of racism
1:30:50
and hate and anger.
1:30:52
It was ugly.
1:30:56
- That's a picture that
the little boy that was involved
1:30:58
in the Buell-school shooting...
