From my cold, dead hands
"I'll give you my gun when you pry (or take) it from my cold, dead hands" is a slogan popularized by the National Rifle Association (NRA) on a series of bumper stickers.〔(Charlton Heston death announcement ) - New York Times, April 6, 2008〕〔(Excerpt from Mary Mackey's ''McCarthy's List'' (1979) )〕 It is a variation of a slogan mentioned in a 1976 report from the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency: "I Will Give Up My Gun When They Peel My Cold Dead Fingers From Around It."〔(Excerpt from 1976 report from Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency ) - p. 2221〕 The original version did not originate with the NRA, but with another gun rights group, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, based in Bellevue, Washington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Common Sense Gun Lobby Citizens Committee For The Right To Keep And Bear Arms )〕 It, along with "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns", is a slogan that is often used by gun owners and their supporters in discussions of gun control in the United States.
==Use by Charlton Heston==
The phrase gained newfound popularity following the 129th NRA convention, in Charlotte, North Carolina on May 20, 2000, when the actor, and president at the time of the NRA, Charlton Heston ended a speech by concluding:
Heston then paused to pick up a replica of a flintlock Long rifle and continued:〔(N.R.A. leaders cast Gore as archenemy ) - ''New York Times'' article, May 20, 2000〕
Heston repeated the phrase at the end of each NRA convention over which he presided. When he announced his retirement in 2003, he concluded by repeating "From my cold, dead hands."〔("Heston to Step down as NRA President" ), The Nation, April 25, 2003.〕
