"A free people ought to be armed." - George Washington "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria) "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." - Thomas Jefferson "To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them." - George Mason "I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few politicians." - George Mason (father of the Bill of Rights and The Virginia Declaration of Rights) I would have said this myself but these men said it all so much sooner and better than I.
Instead of trying to take guns away, if a gun is used in a crime then hold the person accountable. Don't punish everybody for those that use a gun illegally. If a gun is used in a crime, then no parole when found guilty.
Thank you for backing up my statements and logic. As I have said numerous times: "violence is the last option, but sometimes you get stuck in a bad situation and are only left with lethal force". Good day, sir.
+Teunis Swart The fact that he has to elaborately articulate common sense implies that American people on average are the one's who are fucking stupid. He is clearly of very high intelligence, he's just sarcastic and slightly lacking in humility (when he says nobody can play the guitar like he can), but I believe he's genuinely fighting against tyrants for the American people.
I used to be an NRA member , But since I lost my rights an as American Citizen living in occupied New York State , I wont give them a penny any more. its been 3 years since the unconstitutional law known as the SAFE Act has been shoved down the throats of millions of New Yorkers and do you want to know what the NRA has done? Nothing. They asked me for more money , thats about it.Nobody has yet challenged the law in the NYS supreme court . Know what Guns of America ( GOA)did for us? Nothing. that's the kind of protection I got from joining the NRA , and governor Cuomo is now trying to write more anti gun laws . The NRA should stand for Not Really American, Thanks NRA, from behind the lines in NYS
That's also why I won't join the NRA, they've done nothing to help my state of California. Though I have to say California is not as restrictive as New York.
+Steven Noel Better than Obam-ination Klintong , BUSH and ..........many more . He might be under the opinion it's a good idea to invade sovereign countries in violation of Law and Tradition before Martial Law . So it's questionable . Maybe he can be the Director of The Entertainment Dept . ?
Ted is a great American patriot and a resident of Texas.Yall need to head down this way sometime and spend some time...(Great weather, great bar-b-que, great hog hunting ) Remember The Alamo!!!!!!!
"Saul Cornell, is the Paul and Diane Guenther Chair in American History at Fordham University, a former Professor of history at Ohio State University and the former Director of the Second Amendment Research Center at the John Glenn Institute.

Say or think what you will, but this man is a smart man. He can curse with the best of them, but he has the intelligence and vocabulary to not utter one curse word while professing the same beliefs and opinions that are undoubtedly filled with profanity most of the time.
And I do think a lot of people take being an American for granted! We have it pretty good over here for a reason! Men and women have fought and died for our ways and some have forgotten just what it means to be an American! Look around the rest of the world and tell me if you think they have it better. We are blessed people!
The difference between a SUV and an assault rifle is that an assault rifle is specifically designed with the single purpose of killing many people as quickly as possible and a SUV was not designed with such a malicious purpose. Now I don't think an outright ban is necessary, just more restrictions and tighter backgrounds checks on owning guns, including assault rifles.
That's my Uncle Ted! Finally somebody with their head on straight that people listen to! That he even needs to say these things to the public is wrong. It should never have needed to be a discussion! It's the BILL OF RIGHTS! Just like he said! Not the bill of needs! If that's the life they want there are plenty of countries that would suit them perfectly!
Exactly my point. There will always be people out to harm others or help others; bad guys and good guys. It is in our very nature - to deny that is to deny the existence of free will and individuality. As a martial artist, I also use all of the tools I have available to avoid violence. Removing one's self from a situation, if possible, is preferred...but sometimes people get stuck in bad places. When it comes down to "fight or flight" and there is nowhere to run, what option do we have?
My objective is to have ZERO gun related deaths of innocent people that don't carry guns or aren't doing something illegal. Children aren't allowed to carry weapons, yet some of them get their hands on it and have had accidents when their parents don't have them locked up safetly. Children have getting killed by losers with various types of guns while they are attending school. So how does this society prevent that? What are the options? Keep guns out in the market? What's YOUR objective?
There have, I think, been 13 school shootings so far in 2014. Another dead teenager in Florida. Concealed carry is working great, isn't it. We need more assault rifles, too. Assault weapons are not used in home invasions or armed robberies. Gangs use auto weapons to kill each other. Let them have all those weapons they want.
In a mugging situation, a pistol would be the best item for self-defence (if you want to go that path). Not an assault rifle with high capacity magazines.
"Exerting gun control is not taking away your civil rights if you pose a threat or do something illegal." But gun control isn't aimed at criminals, it is aimed at ALL gun owners. The police have limited personnel and limited resources. They can't catch criminals if they are busy monitoring and controlling all of the peaceful/innocent people (especially with the War on Drugs). It's simple math.
Actually I stand corrected as you were half right. (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
We want Ted Nugent for PRESIDENT!! "Are you KIDDIN me?" "No Ted,WE are not KIDDIN you!" GoD Bless You & Keep you always!! You Rock, You R An Angel!! You are a hero, & we kinda like ur music too- BIG SMILE- thanx for all you do!!!
The founders had a word for a bunch of farmers marching with guns without government sanction: a mob. One of the reasons we have a Constitution is the founders were worried about the danger posed by individuals acting like a militia without legal authority. This was precisely what happened during Shays’ Rebellion, an insurrection in western Massachusetts that persuaded many Americans that we needed a stronger central government to avert anarchy."
finale: "In reality, in the first decade after the Constitution, the government put down several rebellions similar to Shays - and nobody claimed that they were merely asserting their Second Amendment rights." so, the meaning of 'regulation' meant the same back then as it does now. regulations from GOVERNMENT = laws. militias were CONTROLLED by state / federal governments. you were told what KIND of musket to have, in many cases FORCED to have one, and how many rounds. you could be fined.
What Ted doesn't realize is, if there's another Concord Bridge, the US military is on the other side. Not some redcoats with muskets. He's got some buddies, great.
"I'm 64 years clean and sober. Everything's working pretty good." It's 'pretty well', dog. Pretty 'well.' Not 'good.' 64 years of failing at English, apparently.
"In 1776, most of the original state constitutions did not even include an arms-bearing provision. The few states that did usually also included a clause protecting the right not to bear arms. Why? Because, in contrast to other cherished rights such as freedom of speech or religion, the state could not compel you to speak or pray. It could force you to bear arms."
If you have training and equipment by all means use it, but don't go out looking for a fight. I'm saying that for the majority of the American population that doesn't have the equipment or training the best option is to leave or avoid an armed fight.
"These laws also defined what type of guns you had to buy - a form of taxation levied on individual households. Yes, long before Obamacare, the state made you buy something, even if you did not want to purchase it. (The guns required by law were muskets, not pistols. The only exceptions to this general rule were the horsemen’s pistols that dragoons and other mounted units needed.)" contemporary PROOF of this? the militia act of 1792. told you not only what type of musket, but # of ROUNDS.
wikipedia: "Regulation may refer to the following: A process of the promulgation, monitoring, and enforcement of rules, established by primary and/or delegated legislation. A written instrument containing rules having the force of law.'
Why should I?! I didn't make up the word, nor did I place it in dictionaryDOTcom. You may want to contact the website and take up your argument with them.
That other money would go to other programs such as infastructure and healthcare. Not to mention these programs would eliminate student debt and health related debt in our modern society.
When you are in the armed forces, you are actually a civil servant. But when you come back home, you are civilian. I went to college worked my ass off even since high school paying lots of taxes to the Government so they can give me the freedom to live without having civil wars or other wars in our own country. So forgive me if I would like to be able to be safe within the country I was born and raised in and not have to worry about ANYONE having some racist attitude and putting me down.
any "GUN CONTROL" laws ever passed, should affect EVERYONE EQUALLY... the POLICE, the MILITARY, etc... THEN we will see how far they get when the police throw a fit.
Don't give people, politicians (government personnel, law enforcement, etc.) reasons to think that you are planning or going to do anything to revolt or do anything physical against another human being that's not violating the law. Stockpiling weapons, acting militant, hateful, racist gives them more reasons to remove that person as a threat. Exerting gun control is not taking away your civil rights if you pose a threat or do something illegal. threatening government officials is illegal.
My suggestion is for you to go to a local bookstore and visit the self help section and see if there are books specifically written for people that get out of serving in the military and dealing with getting used to becoming a regular civilian. I don't know of any off hand, but I'm sure there plenty out there. It might something useful whether you realize it or not. I've seen the same thing happen with plenty of others, it's nothing new.
You realize an "assault weapon" works no differently than any semi-automatic gun, right? You can't shoot it faster than a finger squeezes. The only reason some want to ban "assault weapons" is because they're scary looking. A fully automatic weapon is illegal to own. And just a note, the shooter in Newtown would not have been stopped by yet another law. He broke 41 laws, a 42nd law would have made no difference.
If you let citizens have a choice whether or not they can own a gun, there will be innocent people who will choose not get a gun and therefore not able to protect themselves from those with guns. It either has to be mandatory or banned. I agree that those with violent criminal records, alcohol problems, etc. should not be allowed to own guns.
I agree, though it still makes a difference. Depending on the aggressor's training, the sidearm mght be less accurate and/or might not have the stopping power of his main weapon.
Multiple attackers, as is frequently the case in home invasion robberies. While shotguns and centerfire rifles have the highest rate of one-shot stops, they are not infallible, and it takes less than 1.5s to close a 21' gap, which is right around the bare minimum for draw / acquire target / fire accurately. A shotguns spread is about 1" per yard. So at 10' is only a 3" spread. Still gotta aim.
I was never against socialism. You might have me mislabeled with somebody else here. Socialism is what FDR brought to us with Social Security. That plan ensures the retired get a portion of what they worked for all of those years.
If you have a problem with Roe v. Wade, take it up in court. It is despicable that you don't care about "a mere 20" children that die each year. Every life counts, and if there is a way to preemptively save them, I'm all for it.
Militias were tightly controlled organizations legally defined and regulated by the individual colonies before the Revolution and, after independence, by the individual states. Militia laws ran on for pages and were some of the lengthiest pieces of legislation in the statute books. States kept track of who had guns, had the right to inspect them in private homes and could fine citizens for failing to report to a muster." kind of like the 'registration' the nra scares people with!
Certainly people can buy security measures for their home. That can increase your chances of surviving an attack in your home. But a free person also has the choice to buy a weapon. A pistol would be cheaper and it can be carried when you are away from home. You can't take your security doors with you when you walk outside.
Thank You for bringing attention to the horrible things going on in NY. Most people don't know alot of the new laws that were put in place.1) You can never buy an AK or AR in NY state as long as this law stays on the books.2) You will have to waste your time with a background check for a box of bullets(no internet sales) 3) You can only ever put 7 bullets in your gun. Sounds like infringement no matter how you spin it. And almost all the counties and cities have officially opposed this.
a true law abiding American..and plays some mighty fine guitar too..i would be at the mercy of a failed justice and mental heath system if i lived in a gun free zone..we the people have a right to protect ourselves and our family..nothing more nothing less..
"It is vital that Americans separate myths from realities, because what many of us seem to have forgotten is that, in the vision of the founders of the United States of America, the right to bear arms carries with it enormous burdens and responsibilities. In fact, if we restored the Second Amendment to its original meaning, it would be the NRA’s worst nightmare. Invoking the Second Amendment ought to be a more effective argument for increased regulation than it is against it."
From a purely financial point of view, it's a LOT cheaper for you to go to a gun range and use THEIR assault rifles, etc. and get your rocks off, than to buy your own. do you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon? If not, you can't carry them around. So, if you are afraid of a home invasion, get those steel door frames, and locks to prevent a break in, it's probably as much as an assault weapon, but it'll keep your home safe to give you peace of mind.
As far as controlling the deer population, why don't these gun owners volunteer for these animal control services agencies that are government run and help them control these wild animals? That way they work for a group that organizes those people and can monitor them and the weapons they use.
If you don't like guns I urge you to put a sign in your yard letting everyone know your home is a gun free zone this will serve two purposes 1 being your house will be broke into instead of mine and 2 you will quickly learn the importance of being a responsible gun owning American who can protect you and your!!
Hello Tedd can you tell the people why you can't stop the criminals from getting what ever weapon they want by the black market and our government hasn't been able to stop for over 100yrs and probably never will stop thanks voice never heard
Cesar Agustus It’s not cool clip it’s called a magazine and yes whatever size it holds a standard because if you have to fight the government for your freedom one day what are you going to do it 10 rounds when they have 500 rounds going through there machine gun
Turns out he was right. Look what we did to those people in vietnam. Just like we are doing to those poor cavemen and women in Afghanistan. They are not enemies of the USA.
Earlier [approximately 2 hours ago] you said the following: "Since no opinions or facts have been provided that point to the contrary, I believe my argument stands." then approximately 3 hours ago you said: " In this day and age I do not think that an unorganized militia is necessary considering our extremely large defence budget." You used "I believe" and "I do not think" to base opinions.
God bless Ted Nugent and God bless the U.S.A.

Not a huge Ted Nugent fan, but this man is right on.
Great info, Ted. I'm a war Veteran and thank you as well.
I like how you stand your position. You take no crap and say what needs to be said with the fewest words needed,

It is extremely illogical to equate the inalienable right of gun ownership and self defense to dying.

kind of like the 'registration' the nra scares people with!
Certainly people can buy security measures for their home. That can increase your chances of surviving an attack in your home. But a free person also has the choice to buy a weapon. A pistol would be cheaper and it can be carried when you are away from home. You can't take your security doors with you when you walk outside.
Based on what statistic? Based on what factual data? Could you please cite the references? Thanks.
Alcohol and Ted Nugent in the same sentence?
Love Ted Nugent.
Thank You for bringing attention to the horrible things going on in NY. Most people don't know alot of the new laws that were put in place.1) You can never buy an AK or AR in NY state as long as this law stays on the books.2) You will have to waste your time with a background check for a box of bullets(no internet sales) 3) You can only ever put 7 bullets in your gun. Sounds like infringement no matter how you spin it. And almost all the counties and cities have officially opposed this.
such an intelligent and articulate argument!!
God bless Ted Nugent !
a true law abiding American..and plays some mighty fine guitar too..i would be at the mercy of a failed justice and mental heath system if i lived in a gun free zone..we the people have a right to protect ourselves and our family..nothing more nothing less..
"It is vital that Americans separate myths from realities, because what many of us seem to have forgotten is that, in the vision of the founders of the United States of America, the right to bear arms carries with it enormous burdens and responsibilities.
In fact, if we restored the Second Amendment to its original meaning, it would be the NRA’s worst nightmare. Invoking the Second Amendment ought to be a more effective argument for increased regulation than it is against it."
thanks ted
I still don't know what "Cat Scratch Fever" is...
From a purely financial point of view, it's a LOT cheaper for you to go to a gun range and use THEIR assault rifles, etc. and get your rocks off, than to buy your own. do you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon? If not, you can't carry them around. So, if you are afraid of a home invasion, get those steel door frames, and locks to prevent a break in, it's probably as much as an assault weapon, but it'll keep your home safe to give you peace of mind.
Ted Nugent for President, 2016! I'm not sure if he'll run but I can hope.
The bottom line is a unarmed population is easier to control and dominate by the government
As far as controlling the deer population, why don't these gun owners volunteer for these animal control services agencies that are government run and help them control these wild animals? That way they work for a group that organizes those people and can monitor them and the weapons they use.
If you don't like guns I urge you to put a sign in your yard letting everyone know your home is a gun free zone this will serve two purposes 1 being your house will be broke into instead of mine and 2 you will quickly learn the importance of being a responsible gun owning American who can protect you and your!!
Hello Tedd can you tell the people why you can't stop the criminals from getting what ever weapon they want by the black market and our government hasn't been able to stop for over 100yrs and probably never will stop thanks voice never heard
Did I have an opinion? Have I led with "I think", "I don't think, "I believe", "I don't believe", "I feel", "I don't feel" anywhere along the debate?
Yup.
A 100 or sixty round clip is standard capacity Ted . We need to think correctly brother .
He's a doucher
Cesar Agustus It’s not cool clip it’s called a magazine and yes whatever size it holds a standard because if you have to fight the government for your freedom one day what are you going to do it 10 rounds when they have 500 rounds going through there machine gun
It allows for us non criminals to defend ourselves from those idiots.
The 2nd Amendment never was about hunting. Read it again.
Love Ted Nugent, the man puts the liberal media to shame! Go NRA!
Turns out he was right. Look what we did to those people in vietnam. Just like we are doing to those poor cavemen and women in Afghanistan. They are not enemies of the USA.
Earlier [approximately 2 hours ago] you said the following: "Since no opinions or facts have been provided that point to the contrary, I believe my argument stands." then approximately 3 hours ago you said: " In this day and age I do not think that an unorganized militia is necessary considering our extremely large defence budget." You used "I believe" and "I do not think" to base opinions.
Uncle Ted we love you!
