I'm not even a rabid pro-gun person--never owned one, don't want one, someone in my family was almost killed by a nut with one--but this article is Exhibit A in Strained Logic. Someone commits a crime with a gun, and Nugent approving of gun use is somehow connected, in some fuzzy way, somehow... Uh, ok.
Easy enough to remedy this situation. Which weapon did the bullet come from?
1) Citizen being robbed - civil suit for reckless endangerment. Assault charges if he drew the weapon and his life was not in danger.
2) Criminal who used a firearm in the commission of a crime. Go straight to jail, do not collect $200. Hopefully the criminal rights lobby won't get him free.
What does Ted Nugent and NRA members have to do with this? By that liberal windbag's logic the entire press should be banned because some 'journalists' fabricate stories.
