U2 use Heston 'gun message' video on US tour

U2 are targeting Charlton Heston over his support for guns during their US tour gigs.

The veteran actor is president of the National Rifle Association in the US.

U2 use film of Heston defending firearms before their song Bullet The Blue Sky.

During the intro video, Heston is seen saying: "There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a good person is no threat to anybody, except bad people."

This is followed by footage of a small child playing with a gun and violent scenes from Vietnam and other wars, according to reports.
