Here, use my magnesium bar. I'll go fetch some more wood. ; )

Alright then, Be back in a bit. =-)

Before we 2nd Amendment supporters do a repeat of the last election, perhaps we should remind ourselves that we are
'brothers in arms' in the battles with gun grabbers.

To attack, rather than instruct, prominent 2nd Amendment supporters whenever they err will certainly gladden the warped, shrunken hearts of the gun grabber poopulation(that's a pun, not a typo).

My son & I saw him at our state fair acouple of yrs ago. He was great! The whole crowd was rockin', although some liberals were upset with his pro troops, USA, comments. He shot an arrow right into the heart of Sadamm Huissain(sp).

[RepoGirl]

Thankfully, I don't think there was a single lefty in the crowd at the HOB show. Every one of his pro-Bush comments raised a startling round of applause and cheers from the audience, and the arrow (flaming) through Saddam's heart really drove everyone nuts.

I was 4 mos preg at the time, and I wonder if Ol' Ted's show had an affect on the munchkin-to-be, since she's as Gonzo and wild as old Ted.

[TigersEye]

I fully agree and I almost always do that. Now, what do you think I could tell Ted Nugent about guns that he doesn't already think he knows?

As for elections; I will never vote for a gun grabber. Which leaves Gudy Ruiliani, McStain and Mitt out of the picture.

gun-nuts bump!

The whole crowd was rockin', although some liberals were upset with his pro troops, USA, comments.

According to Nugent's current website, during the Vietnam war, he enrolled at Oakland Community College and took a student deferment.

So much for Deadly Tedly

[OldSmaj]

Did which? Accept Zumbo's apology or leave Ted's campfire?

Sorry I wasn't clear.

From what I could fathom thru the myriad of flamers, azzhats and idiots, the majority told him that his campfire wasn't quite warm enough.

I expect that was from a large number of the newbies to his forum, but it was still surprising that Mr. Nugents "celebrity" status didn't carry a whole hell of a lot of weight.

Mr. Zumbo rang that bell and as we all know, it can't be unrung.

[IronJack]

Yeah, the Motor City Madman has relocated to Texas, I understand. Michigan's loss is Texas' gain.

[Charles Martel]

To attack, rather than instruct, prominent 2nd Amendment supporters whenever they err will certainly gladden the warped, shrunken hearts of the gun grabber poopulation(that's a pun, not a typo).

Zumbo's hunting guide tried to instruct him at the outset. Didn't do much good, did it?

Certainly, we try to educate first... but when they refuse to learn, sterner measures are in order. Do you really think that Jim would be sounding the slightest bit contrite if we hadn't jumped on him with both feet?

[conservativeharleyguy]

"...simply because they prefer a weapon that differs from the hand-engraved, rare-wood stocked, bolt action, so-called "hunting" rifles..."

I vividly remember Ted shooting an AR-15 on his Outdoor Life Network "reality show", so I don't agree with your assessment of his motivations. I believe his point is that it is better to try to enlighten Mr. Zumbo than it is to excoriate him.

We have enough enemies without creating new ones, and dissension in the ranks of gun owners only emboldens our foes.

[TigersEye]

I figured that was what you meant. Ted has always been very cool. No one rips a fuzzy headed lib like he does. But the 2nd A. just isn't light reading for his fans. It ain't no party it ain't no fooling around. I'm very heartened by the response to Jim Zumbo's folly. Likewise Ted's flickering campfire. Their fans will forgive if they get their heads straight. In Ted's case I expect he will.

[McLynnan]

Yeah, the Motor City Madman has relocated to Texas, I understand. Michigan's loss is Texas' gain.

Yes, he's been here a couple of years. His place is in China Spring across the highway from W's ranch. He is active in area schools. He looks much younger than 58. Must be all that clean living.

I only heard from the leftists after the concert, if they complained during, the crowd drowned them out. We were way down in front of the stage and everyone around us were really enjoying the show. Alice Cooper also performed that nite. My son, who was 18 at the time, is a big Ted Nugent fan. He's really into strong guitar rock.

Congratulations on your daughter's birth, she sounds like she will keep you busy. Kids are great, enjoy them while you can. They grow up so fast.

[upsdriver]

I grew up during those times. The draft ended just before I turned 18. I don't have a problem with anyone trying to get out of going to Vietnam. Those times were chaotic and the whole country was a mess. Some of my friends ended up going but none of them volunteered.

Bump to post #6.

[stevie_d_64]

Yeah, he could have just left this issue alone...And I lost a lot of respect for Ted and his entourage...

If he'd have just cancelled this near-future hunting trip with Jim Zumbo...I would not have particularly damned him for it...I know he and Zumbo are friends, but Zumbo expressed his (not surprising) opinion about "gun owners who are not necessarily hunters" section of the RKBA community...

I would never, and have never, and will never damn or condemn the gun-owning hunting community, even if I get tossed for saying all of this...But if you guys and gals in that community think any of your "sporting firearms" will be free from any future bans or restrictions of anykind...

hehehe, have I got a deal for you...

I have several firearms on this proposed "hit list" with H.R. 1022 and you can bet your bottom dollar I had no intention of owning or posessing these weapons from day one for any hunting purpose...

I have no reason (morally or philosophically) to comply with a law that infringes on a basic, and founding, "inalienable right" afforded in our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence...

Now, hopefully we can defeat this before it comes to that...

But what Jim Zumbo did, and what Ted's giving a pass on is not helping at all what we are rightfully going to fight against...And I have my doubts about how well the gun owning community (as a whole) will come together to defend this "inalienable right"...

I know Ted Nugent lurks in these websites, and he is more than welcome to rightfully challenge me on my opinion...And I will still think very well of him regardless (it'll be a challenge)...But like I said, I just lost a lot of confidence in his ability to sustain a credible force in helping us maintain the RKBA, for whatever reason, and with whatever means, in his visible station in the NRA...

All I know is, is that I have the same attitude and conviction as Dr. Suzzana Hupp did when she addressed that congressional committee years ago...And that video of her, and that last part of ther statement is exactly what is at stake here...

And I might not be as nice and collected as she was...

[Nebr FAL owner]

There is no way on God's green Earth that I would silly enough to take that bet.

Agreed ! We do not do our cause any good when go after one another with long knives . We in fact become more at odds with one another & as such cannot present a unified front to our common enemy.

Those who in their lust for power & prestige would turn us all into slaves of a govt. that deems in vital that it sees all,hears all,controls all ,from cradle to grave.

I have NO desire to live in a USA version of the East Germany where children & school teachers were informants on one another ,husbands & wives betraying one another to the secret police.

This sort of thing can happen here if we let it . The way to stop it is not to cut each others throat but to agree to disagree in a firm but civil fashion & to EDUCATE those who are ill informed or just plain ignorant ! THE THROAT CUTTING & BACK STABBING MUST STOP !!! WE HAVE ENTIRELY TO MUCH WORK TO DO!!!
