Report: Ted Nugent might run for NRA president
posted at 5:55 pm on January 30, 2009 by Allahpundit
Just the man gun-rights advocates need to counter the left’s stereotype of them as belligerent, wild-eyed cranks.
But Nugent tells Whispers he stands ready to battle the antigunners in Washington. “Clearly, the NRA is the ultimate ‘we the people,’ family, grass-roots organization for what is clearly Job 1 for free men everywhere: to guarantee our God-given right to keep and bear arms and defend ourselves,” he tells our Suzi Parker. “To be so honored to participate in any way, as an NRA board member or the ultimate honor of serving as president, would surely be a duty I would put my heart and soul into. I am genuinely moved that it is even being discussed. I am ready, willing, and able to serve if the good NRA members call upon me.”
From August 2007, here’s the would-be chief executive displaying his lobbying skills. Content warning.

Rallying the base is important, but so is winning people over to conservative ideas. It wasn’t that long ago the NRA got terrible publicity with the ad about “jackbooted government thugs”–including the President of the United States publicly resigning. I may have agreed with the underlying sentiment of the ad, but it did not help the NRA. It took Mr. Heston, a well-respected man with a commanding manner, to help repair the NRA’s image. I have trouble believing the man in this video, although perhaps right in his ideals and articulate in other venues, will win many people to conservatism.
DrMagnolias on January 30, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Ted Nugent is a whackjob. Why would any self respecting human being want him to lead any organization?
CABE on January 30, 2009 at 8:08 PM
OT (sort of): Obama wants to cut the military budget by 10%. And some of you say Ted is crazy.
baldilocks on January 30, 2009 at 8:10 PM
And I’d like to add he’s a lousy guitarist/song writer/musician.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:11 PM
Um, effectiveness? Getting the job done? Countering the insane left?
Exactly who are you afraid he’ll alienate?
Squiggy on January 30, 2009 at 8:12 PM
I’ve followed Ted Nugent for many years and know his persona. Nevertheless, I just watched the video to see what AP and others here were whining about. I admit, I was startled with his open anti-Hussein tirade. But when he shouted “Freedom”, that did it for me! This guy has it deep down in his soul! It is way, way past time for those who love liberty that are left in this country to stand up and fight the enemies of freedom, whereever and whoever they are. And with this country awash in communist fervor, I figure its high time for conservatives and libertarians to get “in your face” with the “one finger salute” to these despicable bastards. No more rolling over or going along to get along. Screw “bipartisanship”. And we all know that the left will smear and besmirch any NRA spokesperson, no matter how mild mannered or polite. To hell with that! Go Nuge!!

Where can I buy any of your platinum-selling album’s?
Squiggy on January 30, 2009 at 8:14 PM
That video has been around a while and this site has used it before to try to paint Nugent in a bad light. Instead of basing your entire judgment off a one minute video, try having an objective mind yourself and look into all the good Nugent has done on behalf of gun owners, the environment and kids.
clearbluesky on January 30, 2009 at 8:17 PM
That’s to be expected from the most liberal POTUS ever. It sucks, but has little to do with this topic.
Ted is still nuts.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:17 PM
Ted’s the juvenile delinquent I wanna be when I grow up.
TinMan13 on January 30, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Mine are next to Britiney Spears, Puff Daddy and GWAR. They are also fine song writers and musicians, no?
=============
KIDS? Is that how you want to kids to behave w/firearms? WTF?
And Ted doesn’t even have his firearm terminology correct. The guy is a fool.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Like i said, why don’t you try looking into it before jumping to conclusions. Here’s where you can get started.
And now that i think about it, there used to be a longer version of this video where Nugent makes a speech thanking and saluting the troops. Funny how that version doesn’t seem to be on youtube anymore.
clearbluesky on January 30, 2009 at 8:28 PM
Nugent, regardless of whether you agree with him on issues or not, is a redneck. Either the NRA screwed up in appointing someone who is not representative of them, or they screwed up in appointing someone that IS representative of them. Either way, the image of the rube redneck remains.

OT equals Off Topic; no need for you to repeat what I have already said.
baldilocks on January 30, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Horrors. Let’s expel such people from the country. Like Bill Clinton.
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 8:32 PM
And you are a bigot.
baldilocks on January 30, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Was his finger on the trigger? Was he pointing it in an unsafe direction? Do you know if they were even loaded?
Then what is your beef?
By the way, from what I could see, he was holding up an AR, M4, or some variant thereof. If it expels rifle cartridges in quick succession, and is portable, then yes, it’s a machine gun. Brush up on your terminology.
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 8:37 PM
But then you tried to bring “on topic”:
=========================
Oh yeah, I know the vid has been around for months. I remember when it came out, and I immediately changed my view on him. I think that vid shows the real Ted.
The highlight of that vid for me was when Ted said Senator Clinton ought to put his “machine gun” :rolleyes: into her vagina. What a great role model for kids.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:38 PM
I’m an NRA Benefactor Member and I like The Nuge on the NRA board. As NRA President (where he wouldn’t be “running” the Association…that’s what Wayne LaPierre does) I’m not so enthusiastic.
Like it or not, I think the Association benefits most from a Sandy Froman or Chuck Heston-type public face, not an outrageously in-your-face type.
JohnTant on January 30, 2009 at 8:40 PM
He’s a draft dodger who appears to have seen the light.
I love to rib liberals by telling them my dream ticket would be Michael Savage and Ted Nugent (in either order as pres / vice pres).
President of the NRA? That’d be interesting.
BowHuntingTexas on January 30, 2009 at 8:42 PM
If it was a “machine gun” [and it wasn't] Ted would have committed a slew of felonies in front of thousands of people. And yes, Ted pointed his “machine gun” in unsafe directions repeatedly.
Stop sniffing Ted’s jock and smell the coffee people. It’s unacceptable behavior.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:43 PM
Something tells me there weren’t many kids at that show. So please let us know when he is suggesting the same thing when he’s being interviewed by Glenn Beck, or being the spokesperson for Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE), or helping found the straightedge movement that inspires young people to avoid drugs and alcohol.
Go ahead and watch “The Killers”, where Ronald Reagan plays a woman-beating criminal, and then tell me that makes him a bad role model for kids.
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 8:45 PM
Ok, I decided to do a little research. Last time I looked into him I had another set of beliefs about things. I realize now that most of what I thought about him was propaganda from enviroweenies and hippies.
I’d recoment checking out this and these

MirCat on January 30, 2009 at 8:48 PM
OK, Ted is not the ideal guy for what is after all a public relations job. I think that is pretty obvious. Other than that, I like him. His 1978 Double Live Gonzo album was one of my first and he´s still got it.
el gordo on January 30, 2009 at 8:48 PM
For the poeple saying he’s a lousy guitarist, wash your mouth!
Stranglehold is legendary.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYOV8uu17t0
This man rocks. This man hunts, but he hunts in caged areas, which is pretty lame.
He’s done alot for hunting rights, and he’s a proud American, but he’s certainly night a shining light to all.
But let’s give him his due. Stranglehold is a badass song.
Vincenzo on January 30, 2009 at 8:49 PM
By the way, if you were forced to hang out with Republicans’ most famous gun owner (Ted Nugent) or Democrats’ most famous (Howard Dean), whose it gonna be?
Needless to say, if I had to make the choice, it would be the one that screeches on stage while he’s singing…
Vincenzo on January 30, 2009 at 8:51 PM
There’s a huge distinction between Laurence Olivier playing the evil Richard III and Ted Nugent suggesting a sitting Senator put a rifle in her vagina, and calling another female US Senator a “whore”.
Unacceptable.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:51 PM
There you go again Allah, worried about what the liberals think. This is the kind of thinking that’s got the Conservative base in so much trouble, conducting our affairs based on what the liberals think.
The Nuge would make a great NRA president, I hope he gets it.
Maxx on January 30, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Join today.
Ted is perfect for this role. We need somebody to get gun owners fired up and focused on keeping the 2nd firmly in place with no creeping encroachment as the current NRA leadership sometimes seems to be ok with…
In case you didn’t notice AP but Ted is an entertainer, his stage personae is just that, a personae. The non-performing Ted is smart, articulate and can make the case clearly. Plus his over the top style might just kick some gun owners in the ass and get them to pay attention.
The stupid “assault” weapons ban will be coming back soon and we gun owners need to be sure to turn out in force to defend ourselves against creeping erosion of our right to defend ourselves. These idiots want to ban guns that look mean rather than actually prosecuting the laws already on the damn books.
If you value your freedom, buy a gun, learn to use it, join the NRA and never give an inch.
crashland on January 30, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Also, for the record, hunters are pretty much split down the middle what they think of Nugent. 50% think he’s great, 50% think he’s an embarassment becuase he makes all hunters look like idiots.
Vincenzo on January 30, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Nugent is an American who understands and believes, correctly, that he is entitled to his constitutional rights. Only a leftist moonbat would think that indicates there is something wrong with him.
By the way, I think Marxists are whackjobs. I guess it’s in the eye of the beholder.
capitalist piglet on January 30, 2009 at 8:52 PM
I’m disappointed. I didn’t think you would make personal insults to other members. That’s too common on here. Rather than address the topic, just insult the other poster you disagree with.
keep the change on January 30, 2009 at 8:53 PM
Machine gun:
And look at all these machine guns. What felonies would he have committed, pray tell? I didn’t see him transferring ownership of any machine guns. It’s legal to own them provided you go through a series of hoops to register them with the ATF and US Treasury Dept. At least a quarter of a million people own them, including friends of mine. You’re letting your hatred of The Nuge blind you to basic firearms ownership regulations.
Um, up? He was holding them stock down by the barrel. That’s generally considered the safest direction next to pointed at the ground, in which case his hand would have been much closer to the trigger.
Try again.
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 8:54 PM
I guess “good guitar playing” is subjective. He’s a good rock performer, I’ll give him that.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:54 PM
InTheBellyoftheBeast on January 30, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I would join if I could but my business ain’t doing well in Ca.’s anti-business climate. So do all members get to vote or is it left to the board or life members?
Ted may be a bit over the top but at least its in the right direction. Samuel Adams was thought to be a bit over the top as well in his day.
goat on January 30, 2009 at 8:54 PM
I agree that when he wants to, The Nuge can be a very persuasive and earnest champion for our rights. I’ve heard him on Hannity’s radio show a number of times and came away very impressed.
Unfortunately, I’m not persuaded to accept him as NRA President because in that role, the man should not be the message. I like him on the Board to keep the organization honest, but as a public face I’m not sold.
JohnTant on January 30, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Okay< Mommy.
baldilocks on January 30, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Goat, voting rights go to 5 year members, as well as Life and above.
JohnTant on January 30, 2009 at 8:56 PM
You just insulted the guy who we’re discussing, as well as a large segment of America, which undoubtedly includes posters here, by using an epithet. You’re in no position to play victim, chump.
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 8:57 PM
I should clarify…I’m speaking of the Board. I’m not sure about the President as I think the bylaws changed slightly, but I believe the Board elects the President.
JohnTant on January 30, 2009 at 8:58 PM
OK. From your link:
FAIL
And if you watch the vid carefully, he points his “machine gun” in unsafe directions. Flail your firearms around at a firing range like that and see what happens to you.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Get real. I love the guy, I was a fan since I was 13, but that doesn´t mean Nugent is the right spokesman for the NRA. It´s a PR job, which means you can´t just preach to the converted.
el gordo on January 30, 2009 at 8:59 PM
And please people, don’t confuse me w/anyone calling out people as “rednecks”.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 9:00 PM
There’s a big difference between insulting the topic at hand, and insulting fellow posters. The latter is just classless and looks bad. You we know about. But Baldilocks usually has not conduced herself like that.
BTW, do you have a job? You seem to post 24/7 nonstop.

The movie Spinal Tap comes to mind after watching (some of) that video.
BowHuntingTexas on January 30, 2009 at 9:03 PM
When you refer to someone by using a racial and/or regional epithet, that makes you a bigot. It’s like saying that water is wet. Don’t be afraid; own your qualities.
I have addressed the topic—whether or not Nugent should be the NRA president–several times. What other topic would you like me to address? Whether it’s okay to disparage someone using racial/regional bigotry terms? No it isn’t and those who do so are bigots.
Oh yes and I’m…happy to disappoint you. /Ripley from Alien series.
baldilocks on January 30, 2009 at 9:05 PM
How? What evidence do you have that those rifles were semi-auto? And we’re not talking military vernacular, we’re talking actual definitions.
Apparently you’ve never even been to a firing range. Take a look at the ceiling sometime. See all those holes? It wasn’t someone jabbing a pencil overhead. Again, the video shows him pointing the weapons up at all times. What unsafe direction are you referring to?
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 9:05 PM

You just used a racial epithet to describe someone. On the classless scale, you’re scoring a near 10.
Heh, I love it when trolls try and peg me with that. When you’re in IT consulting, believe it or not, you pretty much spend most or all of your day with a computer. I see you’re getting personal. Didn’t you just bemoan doing that?
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Ted Nugent lives right up the road, in Jackson, Michigan, and despite his rock and roll antics, he’s actually a pretty decent guy, involved in the local community, has never forgotten his roots, and is a Goldwater Conservative, leaning toward Libertarian. He’s very active with the USO, Freedom’s Angels, and a few other grassroots organizations, funding a lot of them out of his pocket instead of waiting for a government program to jump in.
If he can get the top slot at the NRA, it’ll make a big, and positive difference…visit his hunting website, or drive up to Jackson, Michigan, say hello. He’s approachable. Decent sort of guy, really.
coldwarrior on January 30, 2009 at 9:09 PM
I know some people consider “redneck” an insult (although I know a few people who proudly proclaim they are rednecks). Am I missing something? Is it also consider racial? Or am I misunderstanding?
DrMagnolias on January 30, 2009 at 9:10 PM
True to a point. I believe that the biggest danger to our rights is not the unconverted, anti-gunners will always be anti-gunners. The biggest danger is apathy within the gun owning community. Watch some the of youtube vids the NRA has put up about what happened in Britain. They were apathetic and they lost their rights completely. I believe that Ted could kick people in the ass and wake them up to the dangers the current regime represents to our rights.
Again, gun owners need to be fully aware of exactly what is at stake in the coming battles. O would ban all guns if he could. Just read exactly what he says in his agenda at the campaign site whitehouse.gov. It’s under “Urban Policy” I dunno, I thought cities were the problem of the state in which they are located but I’m just a dumb guy who reads the Constitution’s words.
crashland on January 30, 2009 at 9:10 PM
At an entertainment event for adults? No. When he’s in front of kids? Yes. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t said those things in front of kids. He’s too busy speaking out against using drugs and alcohol to them. Lovely of you to ignore that.
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 9:11 PM
The topic is not me. The topic is what is introduced by the blogger. So instead of talking about Ted Nugent, you are talking about some anonymous poster on the internet. You’ve lost the plot. Easy to do when you let your emotions, usually one of anger, get the better of you.
keep the change on January 30, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Another point is those guns he’s waving aroung could very well be airsoft models, er, stageprops. Still they are being handled in a safe manner even as he ridicules gun grabbers.
goat on January 30, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Those were not “machine guns”. Period. Stop embarrassing yourself.
And your shooting range should perhaps reconsider their policies if people are discharging into the ceiling on a regular basis.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Quit avoiding the fact that you’re using racist epithets. You’re a bigot when you use them to describe people. Had someone said someone was a “spearchucker”, “wetback”, “slope”, or any of those terms, undoubtedly you’d be outraged.

If they were automatic, then yes they were. You haven’t proven they were semi-automatic, nor have you provided anything to back up your confused idea of what you think a “machine gun” is. Care to do so?
I’ve been to more than a dozen ranges, and they all have it. I’ve also been to police stations with the same thing. Have you even fired a weapon in your life?

Charlton Heston: Military service: US Army Air Corps (WWII, Sgt.)
Ted Nugent: “Nugent dodged the draft during the Vietnam War. In an interview for the Detroit Free Press (July 15, 1990), Nugent described how he avoided the draft: He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with excrement and stained by his urine.”
MB4 on January 30, 2009 at 9:24 PM
That is why responsible parents control where their children go. Geesh, now we have people who seem to want to censor what a performer says on stage at a rock concert.
I’ve seen him in concert, I loved it and I’ll see him again at the next opportunity. I saw him back in 2000 and he did a great version of “kiss my ass” with lines like “Janet Reno you can kiss my ass” he had the entire audience singing along, it was great.
As for the sentiments he expressed in this video, I freaking love them. Nothing like a little red meat for us wild eyed liberty loving gun owners, mmm tasty red meat.
crashland on January 30, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I’m not talking about pubs/sallons/bars, I’m talking about concerts at regular venues. Kids attend those shows all the time. And I’ll wager that what Ted did that night was a regular part of his show until he was busted.
toliver on January 30, 2009 at 9:25 PM
He actually denied that story later.
MadisonConservative on January 30, 2009 at 9:29 PM
You obviously don’t know what a real “machine gun” is, yet you like to argue that point and this makes you look foolish. Perhaps the only thing worse than behaving foolishly is arguing with such.

And again, these shows are not meant for kids. Maybe their parents should be a little more inquisitive as to how they spend their time, especially if they’re going to shows that have adult-oriented content.

(After 1971, there were no more 1-Y’s issued.)

“A machine gun is a fully automatic mounted or portable firearm, usually designed to fire rifle cartridges in quick succession from an ammunition belt or large-capacity magazine, typically at a rate of several hundred rounds per minute. The first machine gun was the Maxim Gun, invented by Sir Hiram Maxim in 1884.
In United States law, machine gun is a term of art for any fully-automatic firearm, and also for any component or part that will modify an existing firearm into a fully-automatic firearm.”

I just got here and missed the first scenes, but wanted to point out that the legal definition of a “machine gun” is different from the commonly used one.
But in any case never bring a machine gun to an artillery duel.

See was that so difficult? Good to see you own up to your racial-regional bigotry. That’s how adults handle their shortcomings.
baldilocks on January 30, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Yah, I think that Selleck would be a lot like Heston. Nugent would be like “the right’s” version of Al Franken on crank.
MB4 on January 30, 2009 at 9:59 PM
The US law written by dems in congress. The “machine gun” is a military wep. Modifying a semi-auto assault rifle into a full-auto assault rifle does not a “machine gun” make.
I’d like to see some of you cats take a ride to a military installation and go give your lame lecture to some people that actually know what a “machine gun” is. I’d pay to see such a thing.
Nonetheless, it’s amusing to witness the argument that attempts to suggest just how sane and responsible Ted Nugent is by saying that he may in fact be waving highly illegal “machine guns” around a rock concert. That’s rich.

I have to agree, Tom Selleck would be a far better pick for President of the NRA. He is calmer, more serious, and more intelligent sounding than Ted.
Is anyone here a Benefactor member of the NRA? I’m not a life member yet and can’t vote. If so, can a group of higher level members nominate Mr. Selleck?

P.S. A what he had I believe would be classified as submachine guns, which are a type of machine gun btw.

P.P.S. A semi-auto is actually a modified full auto. By modifying a semi to a full is actually putting it back to the original design.

To function full-auto, one would have to modify a legal firearm, no?
Thanks for stopping by.

Wow. You’re really… stupid.
A full-auto used by the military is a “machine gun”, but the same weapon if used by a civilian isn’t? Or a full auto only becomes a “machine gun” if adopted by the military?

Let me ask you this. What is a civilian weapon? I mean how do they come about?
