Rocker-turned-gun rights
provocateur Ted Nugent is willing to say just about anything to attack
President Barack Obama and his administration for what he believes is an
imminent effort by the government to snatch up guns. During a recent
interview, Nugent again raised the bar, invoking a Revolutionary war
milestone to suggest that he and his "buddies" were prepared to fight
such an effort at all costs.
"I'm part of a very great experiment in self-government where we the
people determine our own pursuit of happiness and our own individual
freedom and liberty, not to be confused with the Barack Obama gang who
believes in we the sheeple and actually is attempting to re-implement
the tyranny of King George that we escaped from in 1776," Nugent said in
a recent interview with Guns.com at the NBC-sponsored Shooting,
Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show. "And if you want another Concord Bridge, I
got some buddies."
Nugent appears to be referring to the beginning of the Revolutionary
war, when colonial and British troops assembled at the North Bridge in
Concord, Mass. in 1775 broke a standoff when one soldier opened fire.
While it's still unclear which side fired the first shot, it was later
immortalized by poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, who suggested that "the shot
heard 'round the world" was fired by an American.
In his interview, Nugent went on to accuse Obama of having communist
ties, suggesting that gun-owning Americans needed to do something to
"fix" the fact that he was president..................
