Ted Nugent talking about VT

[johnson601]

I like what Ted and Fred both have to say on this issue. What else is it going to take to get people to open their eyes??

dont get me wrong, I totally agree with you, I have a J.D., M.Ed., and a B.A....

I wasnt talking about the reality...I was talking about the perception....

After the Tech killings the Antis would roll out someone from the Brady Campaign, and i would say on over half the shows I saw the "responder" for the pro-gun side was Pat Buchanan....people dont give a damn what Buchanan is saying, they immediately ignore him because of who he is...

I am just saying I am worried about the same thing with Nuge...you could see it in a lot of the reader comments..."Stick to Rock"...or "Dont you have a VH1 reality show.." and because of that people immediately ignore what he is saying....

Im not saying its right....What I am saying is Fred Thompson is a face you can put on gun owner's rights that a lot of people already have a positive impression of from his acting career...he comes across almost grandfatherly, and his demeanor and style of delivery are such that you are drawn to listening to him....this is the type of person I want talking about my rights....because I know people will at least hear what he is saying....

Its sad but true that most communication has very little to do with what is being said....

Point taken. Guess we are going to have to do the hard work of educating people ourselves.

Ted Nugent really has a twisted way of looking at the violence that seems to regularly plague us. As a hunter and gun owner, I do believe in our right to bear arms. However, that right should not include hand guns and assualt weapons.

What a ****tard.

Not as much as this moron:

Frankly I got sick in my stomach reading Mr. Nugent's article. According to Mr. Nugent, the solution is very simple: All citizens should be armed and the world would be a much safer place. Let's take a moment to think about the implication of this. The criminals are not dumb. If we average law-abiding citizens were allowed to freely purchase weapons, the criminals would do everything they could to ensure they have the upper hands on their firepower. Of course, we would immediately do the same to regain our upper hands. What then would you think the criminals would do in return?

This dipshit seem to think that letting the criminals have the "upper hand" in the first place will make things safer or end the "arms race". He doesn't have the mental capacity to understand that we, as individuals, do not have to outrun that hungry Grizzly that's chasing us. All we have to do is outrun at least one other person for that Grizzly to leave us the hell alone!!
