Ted Nugent on deer hunting.

Whose picture is there on the desk of the "Meet the NRA Leadership" website? He's a board member http://meetthenra.org/nra-member/Ted%20Nugent. On that same page, it says in 2008 he was paid 40k by them. By being in the NRA leadership, he becomes (to the antis) the voice/face of gun ownership, whether we like it or not. We can't choose that any more than all Christians are viewed by their opposition as accepting the beliefs of Pat Robertson or Falwell (even though many are not). We CAN decide if we'll pay for membership into a club that accepts his viewpoints and puts money directly into his pocket. I choose not to because I don't think it furthers our cause, and I know I'm not alone in thinking so.

Yes but just because he is alittle more vocal about how he feels dose not mean he's wrong.. He just has the balls to say it

I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm saying he doesn't speak for me, and I'm not paying anyone that's putting money in his pockets, and that the NRA could have many more members if they distanced themselves from him, or if he shut the hell up. Having more members would help the NRA and arguably the causes of responsible gun owners.

And I would like to add this man hand planted over 1000 trees, works around the clock with multiple preservation charity's, and gives alot of his time working and spending time with our injured troops and fights hard for gun rights...you gotta love freedom of speech! This man can speak for me any day of the week

He wants to shoot the president in the face, but it's ok because he plants trees?

I'm sure he really dosent was to shoot anyone...I'm sure he's just trying to show how much he dosent like him. Lol don't take eventhing for face value

I don't think Ted Nugent should align with the NRA, not because he's too radical, but because the NRA is too moderate (they compromise too much). That's why I'm not a member.

Back inthe 80's People magazine had a story on him. He was divorced and had a house for his kids! Yep the kids werent forced to live out of a suitcase every week- the parents were. Did every one forget his stand on full auto?

I think it is humorous that a draft dodging pussy somehow passes himself off as a great American.

This might be true (I didn't research it) but just remember that "pussy" has done alot for our troops.. What have you done for our troops? This is not a attack on you but he has done more for our troops the you or I but that doesn't make us less American

There's nothing wrong with having a voice. I'm not saying anyone shouldn't be free to say whatever they want. I'm saying that I don't want him speaking for me, so I won't align myself with any group that embraced this hate spewing, and I know a LOT of younger gun enthusiasts feel the same way.

For the record, I don't think "Can't grill it till you kill it" is awful. I think saying the sitting POTUS should suck on your machine gun is awful. I don't think using tact and being polite is the same as cowering and being embarrassed. The strongest arguments that can be made (for anything) are logical, unemotional statements that are based on fact. When the conversation denigrates to name calling, both sides have stopped listening. There is a compelling case for gun ownership in America, but if this guy is the "spokesman" for it, then many will never hear it.

Then someone else should speak up and speak louder. They haven't.
