TED NUGENT - NUGENT'S GUN RANT

NUGENT'S GUN RANT

Rocker TED NUGENT has hailed a U.S. ruling allowing all Americans to maintain their right to own a gun - insisting people have a right to protect their "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness".
Nugent, who is on the board of directors of the National Rifle Association of America, is a hunting fanatic and a passionate advocate of the country's relaxed gun laws.
On Thursday (26Jun08), the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a strict gun control law in Washington, D.C. - ruling that individual Americans should have the right to own a gun for personal use.
And Nugent is delighted with the ruling, insisting that politicians should not try to impose restrictions on citizens owning a weapon.
He tells Blabbermouth.net, "If you value the American Way, if you believe in the words and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and our sacred Bill of Rights, if you know in your heart that you have the right, the duty, the spiritual obligation to protect yourself and your loved ones from evil in all of its forms, then you had best contact each and every one of your elected officials right away and let them know that you know exactly what the Second Amendment says and stands for. Remind them about the 'shall not be infringed' clause.
"It will not be the fault of the rotten anti-Americans out there who don't believe in individual rights that rape and pillage our Constitution, it will be the fault of those who know better but failed to speak up. Now is the time to fortify America."
