Ted Nugent is ready for a revolt.
So said the gun advocate and Washington Times columnist at a gun industry trade show last week.
At Las Vegas’ Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT), Nugent said he was ready to reenact Concord Bridge. Concord Bridge was one of the first American victories in the Revolutionary war, where American Minuteman drove back British soldiers and the historic “shot heard ‘round the world” was fired.
Nugent goes on to describe President Obama as a closet communist, an “evil dangerous man who hates America and hates freedom.”
These sort of tempered remarks from Nugent are nothing new. In 2012, Nugent told an NRA audience that he would be “dead or in jail” if Obama was reelected. At a concert in 2007, Nugent called Obama a “piece of shit,” saying the President should “suck on my machine gun.”
While Nugent’s vitriolic rhetoric is not the most effective campaign for gun advocacy, we appreciate how often and the extent to which he exercises his First Amendment right. And that hat. That hat helps.
