Why does a new version of this question keep getting created over and over again.

And why is the settlement date so far away - is he going to lie in state for a month?

i dont know why it kept getting voided, perhaps the starting odds were too high in favour of the NRA?

This question is ambiguous and biased. If he is burried with a rifle we could argue for days as to 'why' which is stated in the question as because of "his staunch support of the NRA". If the question simply asked, "Will Charlton Heston be buried with a rifle?" and odds on 95% no, then it probably wouldn't be voided because the result would be clear - he was or wasn't burried with a rifle.

If he were burried with a rifle, his family wouldn't say "We burried the rifle with him because of his staunch support of the NRA."

So, if they do bury him with a rifle, and the reason is NOT because of "his staunch support of the NRA" then this would have to be settled as NO.

I agree with fingers - the question should read as he suggests in comment #6.

The guy's going to be buried before this question gets done right.

New question that someone should pose - will jchiang submit a question regarding the burial of Heston before Heston is buried? 90% no 10% yes
