Ted Nugent Weighs In On Supreme Court Ruling Re Right To Bear Arms
|
|

Hi,
Ted Nugent wrote this in response to today’s Supreme Court ruling that individual Americans have the right to own guns for personal use, striking down a strict gun control law in Washington, DC. Ted was recently re-elected for his fifth term on the Board of Directors of the NRA.
A “SUPREME” COURT? I CAN DO BETTER
by Ted Nugent
It is glaringly obvious that a critical lesson in history 101 is due in America, for it appears that not only does a lunatic fringe of anti-freedom Americans dismiss our founding fathers’ clear declaration of independence and succinct enumeration of our God-given individual rights, but some Americans have the arrogance and audacity to question whether the right to self-defense is indeed one of these individual rights. Dear God in heaven, who could be this soulless? How about 4 out of the 9 so called “Supreme” justices of the land. God help us all.
Who could be so asinine as to believe that a free man has no such right to keep and bear arms for self-defense? What kind of low-life scoundrel would know that courageous heroes of the U.S. Military would volunteer over and over again to sacrifice and die for such self-evident truths, then turn around and spit on their graves by discounting the very freedoms that these brave men and women have died to protect?
Will these supreme legal scholars also affirm an individual right to choose the religion of our individual choice? Do they authorize our individual freedom of speech? Can you imagine? Them is fighting words my friends, and the line drawn in the sand has never been more outrageous.
Recent USA Today and Gallup polls showed a whopping 73% of good Americans know damn well that we are all created equal, and that we each have an individual right to protect our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. What kind of jackass doesn’t know this? Allow the guitar player to translate for the soul-dead among us.
Keep-this means the gun is mine and you can’t have it. This does not mean I will register it with a government agency. The government works for “we the people,” not the other way around, regardless of what Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein or Barack Hussein Obama or 4 supreme justices may try to tell you.
Bear-this means I’ve got it right here, on me, either in my grasp or damn near. This does not mean locked away in a safe, trigger-locked or stored at the local sporting club.
Shall not be infringed-this of course is another way of saying Don’t tread on me, for we will not be your willing crime victims, subjects, servants or slaves, so don’t even think about it.
When the evil King’s gangsters came to collect unfair taxes from Americans, we tossed their tea into the drink. When they came to disarm us into helplessness against their old world tyrannical ways, we met them at Concord Bridge and shot them dead till they quit treading on us. Any questions children? I didn’t think so.
Corrupt men cannot be trusted, hence the right of “the people” to choose the individual church of our choice, to speak our individual ideas and beliefs, to have individual freedom from unwarranted searches and seizures, and ultimately, to exercise our individual right to keep and bear arms so that evildoers cannot do unto us that which we would not do unto them. Get it? I would love to meet the human being who would argue these points with us. We would be looking at a fascist, and of course fascists, by all historical and empirical evidence, must be eliminated.
If you value the American Way, if you believe in the words and spirit of the US Constitution and our sacred Bill of Rights, if you know in your heart that you have the right, the duty, the spiritual obligation to protect yourself and your loved ones from evil in all of its forms, then you had best contact each and every one of your elected officials right away and let them know that you know exactly what the Second Amendment says and stands for. Remind them about the “shall not be infringed” clause.
It will not be the fault of the rotten anti-Americans out there who don’t believe in individual rights that rape and pillage our Constitution, it will be the fault of those who know better but failed to speak up. Now is the time to fortify America, and we better inform the Supreme Court just who truly is the “Supreme” Court of America-We the people. Individual people with individual, God given rights. The real America. Live free or die.

All i am saying is guns are used to KILL things. To kill. Being pissed off that you can't get your hands on something that kills just seems wrong to me unless that is what you are going for in the first place and actually plan on killing things or people. They are a weapon, not water or food. We have no need for everyone to have their hands on them. I can understand people feeling more safe having them in their homes but all im trying to say is society could or maybe even would be a better place without them. I'm not trying to kid myself and say if stores didn't sell them you couldn't get one.

gun control doesn't work. I can get a gun in 2 ways. I can go into a local gun shop, select a gun, wait 15 days, and own the gun. Or I can drive 10 miles from my house, get a gun for 1/2 the price, no questions, no wait.
Besides, the 2nd Amendment was never about gun ownership for hunting. The NRA lost it's way. The 2nd Amendment is solely about allowing citizens to form their own militia groups to keep the gov in check.
Personally I don't think people should be roaming the streets with a gun. However I have no prob with people stockpiling them in their basement.

Vomit, maybe that is exactly what it would take, but with the weapons they have in their control, especial chemical, not many people are going to want to do anything, atleast anyone who values their own life. I'm just being realistic. One thing I agree with is the government taking away rights, I am just saying guns are a problem in the first place. I'm not saying take them away completely, I'm saying make them harder to get, so not just any citizen can walk in a store and buy one, there are some people that should be able to get their hands on them.

CFH, so you think people should just give up? Sure the gov has bigger and better weapons. But we outnumber them. We need another Revolutionary War.

here's the catch, the government has all the real powerfull weapons, the army, just everything. its called a lost cause. Nice quote, he was a brilliant man, but in my opinion, too late. The mass majority a dumbed down and are sheep.

Also, if you don't feel safe with the government it's called moving to a different place. I know that must be so hard to consinder with U.S fucking A being #1 and all, and every other place being terrible and having nothing to offer but seriously if your that worried fucking move. It's not the country it was supposed to be anyways, it's like a project that could have worked out to be the best ever, but...miserably failed.

I pity anyone who feels they need a gun to be safe. There's a good reason why there is so many deaths in the U.S by use of a gun. You are being ignorant. It's funny how people can't put two and two together when the founding fathers made these rules in times of war. They didn't have the police or military we have today. Or the technology. So yes, it made sense back then for the families to protect themselves but now? Come on. If you all can't figure it out maybe the real problem is the education system, which is terrible by world standards.

You don't think that you'll ever need to defend yourself against your government? Do you realize how many civil liberties you have lost in the last 8 years? There really is no reason for anti-gun laws anyways. Think about it. Me having a gun or several guns on my person does harm to no one yet carries a misdemeanor charge in most states. If I were to pull my gun out and use it against a person, that would be murder or attempt if I am a bad shot (not likely). Both of these charges carry their own laws punishable by death or serious jail time.

What a tool. Those laws were made when it was for a good reason, times have changed hugely from then. Only a shitkicker moron would think you need guns to protect yourself. One of the reasons you'd even be in danger is cause it's so fucking easy to get your hands on a gun anyways.
