Charlton Heston is My President.
I saw this bumper sticker in Pittsburgh today.
Maybe it is just completely over my head, but I fail to see the "point" trying to be made. Is this just a failed attempt at humor? :P

1. I think it means the person belongs to the NRA.
At least it doesn't say, "Charlton Heston is my Prophet."

Actually, I think they're referring to when he was head of the NRA.

3. I figured it had something to do with the NRA. I
I still don't thik it's very clever, however. I saw a lot more like "If you can read this, you're not the president." Now that I find lots of humor in. :P

4. It probably dates back to when he was president of the NRA
Those stickers have been around for a long time. NRA people put them on their vehicles because they were afraid that their guns were going to be taken away, mostly because of what Heston and especially LaPierre said. I'm pretty sure they date back to the Clinton administration.
