Heston Wins 3rd Term as NRA Head

Charlton Heston was unanimously reelected to an unprecedented third term as president of the National Rifle Assn. in Charlotte, N.C., at its 129th annual convention. He predicted membership would soar to 4 million by election day because “President Clinton’s point of view on firearms has united a lot of people.” The NRA amended its bylaws to allow Heston, 75, first elected in 1998, to run again. Traditionally, NRA officers are elected to one-year terms and may serve only two consecutive terms.
