Below is an interview in which Ted Nugent provides his view on gun rights:

Although I personally prefer to argue gun rights in a less emotional manner, I find his arguments to be quite compelling.

Like the millions of law abiding gun owners in America, I am a peace loving person. I own firearms so that I can defend myself and my family, should that need arise. While I sincerely hope that I am never in the position of having to fire a gun in self defense, I rest easier at night knowing that I could stop an armed robber, racist attacker, terrorist, or home invader if the need arose. I also rest easier knowing that my girlfriend could stop a rapist or murderer, rather than becoming a victim. The simple fact is that gun control laws don't stop criminals from getting guns, and instead only disarm the law abiding citizens, making them easier targets for the criminals. Nor is it justifiable to deprive law abiding citizens of their constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self defense, just because criminals misuse guns, just as criminals misuse other tools.

Given those facts, I would encourage my fellow law abiding citizens who do not yet own a gun to do the following: go shooting for the first time, choose the proper gun for self defense, purchase that gun, store the gun in a responsible manner, and become proficient at safely using that gun. Next, join the NRA to protect your right to have a gun for self defense. Doing so may save your life one day, and can also benefit society as a whole.

Often the anti self defense people will interview folks like Ted Nugent hoping that he will say something that they can take out of context and use later on. I think that Ted Nugent’s comments were emotional, heartfelt, and also intelligent. They were also structured so as to resist being taken out of context. Take out and repeat any part of what he said and the public response is most likely to be “right-on.”

Right-on Ted.
