Ted Nugent, the rocker and Michigan deputy sheriff whose new line of ammunition has sold out amid gun control worries, claims members of state and federal law enforcement are poised to disobey any order by President Obama to seize guns.
Nugent, whose trained with the FBI, ATF and DEA, on Tuesday cited a group called "Oath Keepers," members of federal and state police and military organizations, who will not enforce laws that conflict with the Constitution and presumably the Second Amendment right to arms.
In an interview with the "Andrea Tantaros Show with Jason Mattera," Nugent said that if ordered to seize his guns, the "Oath Keepers" would refuse. "First of all," he said if military or law enforcement officials showed up at his Texas ranch, "I'd slice them a shank of venison because most of them are my friends."
He explained: "There is an official organization called 'Oath Keepers,' and these are heros of law enforcement and the military who will not obey an order, an illegal, anti-Constitution, oath-breaking order to infringe that far on our Second Amendment rights."
He predicted that "many will" refuse to enforce orders violating their interpretation of the Second Amendment, but not all, and he cited the Waco, Texas attack during the Clinton administration, as an example.
The Oath Keepers webpage details broadly the group's mission: "Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.
"Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial."
In the interview, Nugent also revealed that Obama's threat to gun owners has helped him sell out his new line of ammunition for rifles and pistols.
"I'm in the gun industry," he said. "I have my own Ted Nugent line of ammo that has sold out every pallet that we can back into a sporting goods store."
“Hes right. The military, and police, how they are currently comprised will not follow orders to round up weapons, and go against their fellow countrymen.
However, I am also very much aware that a volunteer military and a police force, that are slowly being transformed away from those ideals will not be a military and police force that will always protect those ideals.
And I dont think a police force that shoots labs and Chihuahuas is one that concerns itself with Constitutional rights.”
The feral government will simply transfer people to different areas so that they won’t have ‘neighbors’.
I’ll ping you just in case!
While it is legal today, we’re having this conversation pre-Executive Order.
Pathetic!
“Everybody who doesn’t already have 10,000 raise your hands.”
Ahem, that would be me. I have 100 rounds.... Actually, I don’t 100 rounds yet, I’ve only just ordered them!
If the SHTF, I’ll have to barter a true shot for ammo I guess.
I like how you think.
There are lots of Oath Keeprer sleeper cells, that are waiting to be activated. Won’t that be a be surprise to the gun grabbers.
Nothing conspiracy about it, just straight forward talk.
Activated means you pissed us off to the point of militia action. Speaking for myself.

The problem becomes that you are at the mercy of someone who CAN enforce the laws against you at any time.For example, I know my local chief LEO would be willing to sign off on a form 4 for me right now and wouldn’t go after me for gun violations, but what happens if I do something that displeases him?
There is a massive difference between a right and a privilege.
FR working slowly sorry for the multiple post but not for the message!
Debt to Amerikkka!

You’ll probably have to UPS them and have a $20 hazMat fee...
It does appear that way. No U.S. Mail.
They’ll enforce whatever their told to enforce. Most couldn’t tell you the First Amendment from the Second Amendment to the Fifth Amendment.
All one has to do is go on Youtube and watch all the video from Katrina. Showing National Guard troops talking never thinking they’d have to confiscate guns from citizens. But there they were. In direct violation of the oath’s they took.
Ask Pattie Konie if they’ll take your guns.
I'll believe what Nugent says when I see it.
You want every one to believe that LEOs are the scum of the earth. You paint us all with the same broad brush. Incidentally, that is EXACTLY what the liberals do to those of us who believe in the Constitution. You are no better than the liberals, and probably a whole lot worse.,
