When he makes threats against the public, he should be considered a danger and law enforcement should treat his words as genuine threats. At least, that's what an awful lot of 2A "patriots" had to say about Nikolas Cruz when they were screaming about the FBI not acting on his threats. It wasn't the guns, it was lack of action on the threats. The threats, after all, were just words.
You can't have it both ways. Nugent is one of the reasons the Kids are going to win.
The gun nuts twist themselves into knots trying to defend the right of the individual versus the rights of those they hunt and can kill by raining bullets on them.
Making statements like this shows that he is mentally unbalanced and dangerous to the public. Anyone making these sorts of threats should be taken quite seriously by law enforcement, and he needs to be committed for a mental health evaluation at the very least. He could easily be the next Nikolas Cruz waiting to snap.
Ted Nugent And His Kind Should Not Be Allowed To Own Guns Making statements like this shows that maybe YOU are mentally unbalanced and dangerous to the public.
After his statement, would you suggest I do if I run into him on the street? According to Florida's laws, if I do, I would have the right to shoot first if I felt threatened.
You seem to be quite confused. As an Agnotic you do not know if any deity exists to have had anything to do with the founding of America. Your statement expresses instead a firm belief in the existence of god(s), but lack of knowledge in their actions. A true Agnostic refuses to admit that level of belief.
The relevant portion of the constitution, however is the phrase “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.†clearly indicates the belief of the authors of the constitution that a deity did exist and was a proponent of the founding of America along with the second amendment equally as well as the first amendment.
As an agnostic, I am not willing to accept that phrase, unless some sort of proof can be offered that indeed, a creator was involved. The entirety of the Constitution was the work of men, unless you can show me where some deity signed it.
Even the signers are allowed a slip into fantasy every now and again.
Hey, Cue, how you in redneck SC & surrounded by right wing folks -- yet oppose their beliefs? Maybe you need move to Sodom & Gomorrah in San Fran & party w/ the LGBTQ folks. Just sayin....
PS -- Here's deal w/ Mental checks. Do you need a Mental eval to speak freely in USA? no you don't.
How about to remain silent (take the 5th, not drink it, hehee)?
If you need Mental eval -- then no one would ever be able to remain silent, yes? or then... you could just yell from a bullhorn all night long going up & down your street chanting like a deranged madman & no one could tell you to be quiet -- as it is YOUR right to bullhorn your thoughts aloud!
If you have not the right to remain silent, hahaa, so opposite this then -- you have the right to Free Speech & loudly bullhorning all night, no? You see the ludicrous nature here??
Get my point? These rights are UNALIENABLE rights -- but just rights to US legals but -- not given to non-US citizens (a felony being here illegal automatically takes away those citizen rights -- as you ARE NOT citizen -- & thus in commission of a felony). If you're here illegally it is a crime & you need be tossed out of US.
If we go to Europe & pitch a tent in a field & their military or police forces see us, we're tossed from that country. And so it need be here, period. No argument as in... thrown out of a game by the Umpire in baseball, no?
If you are on U.S. soil, you are accorded all the protections of the U.S. Constitution, reagardless of how you came to be here. That is why W didn't bring the Iraqis to the mainland, instead creating a prison at Guantanamo. Had they been brought to the mainland, they would have had the right to an attorney and a jury trial, at government expense.
The gun nuts twist themselves into knots trying to defend the right of the individual versus the rights of those they hunt and can kill by raining bullets on them.
Conflation and false equivalency.
Firearm enthusiasts do not defend the 2nd Amendment to do any such thing.
However, if I recall correctly, wasn't it a program initiated by Democrats, that protects the individual rights of criminals under the guise of "its difficult to go to college, join the military, and obtain a job/start a career with an arrest record"?
Because it's not like its difficult to purchase a firearm with an arrest record or anything...
We all have a right to voice our opinion, just as much as we have a right to lawful means of defense. I take it you still don't know the difference between offense and defense...
Perhaps you might solely rely on a form of government to do that for you, others don't...
See, you and I have a problem with the same people.
You just can not understand the difference between them and law abiding gun owners, so you conflate and falsely equate the two...
It's like comparing gourmet coffee brewed in a French press to Starbucks...
They're both coffee, they're both pricey, they're both the same in quality and taste...
Nope... not even close...
There's no twisting ourselves into knots.
There's no wanting to "hunt and kill by raining bullets on them"...
But don't let me stop you from putting your ignorance on display... do continue with the mantra parroted by mainstream media pundits, politicians, and Hollywood elite about how every firearms enthusiast and law abiding gun owner are out to slay innocent people in a random act of violence...

LOL. If these type jabs at opposing party members is grounds for being mentally unbalanced and dangerous then more than half the county will be committed for mental health evaluations.

He opened the floodgates as no other prez ever did. Bush's were bad, Clinton terrible & even Reagan began this, as all of them catered to southern minority folk & south of border folk, etc. How about hard working minorities that came legally here? Ask them how THEY feel after earning their US Citizenship while others just take it illegally.
Cite your stats please. Otherwise, it's just more misguided opinion.
