wasn't the "cold dead hands" part spliced from the previous year's NRA National Conv in NC?

As far as the convention, it wasn't mentioned, but much of the NRA conv was cancelled. Not all of it was because that was their nation convention and people were travelling from all over the country to go there. Then about 2 weeks before hand, Columbine occured. Well, airlines don't refund you on tickets, and some members likely scheduled vacation to attend this, so they wouldn't be too happy about that. I believe they ended up just hosting the main convention where they elect officers for the next year.

Anyway, I think Heston didn't accept Moore's interview in order to "make a stand". I think he had no clue who Moore was, and didn't find out until later.
