Did Ted Nugent Just Come Out for NRA Reform?

July 23, 2019 by Dan Zimmerman

Ted Nugent posted the following on his Facebook page this afternoon: Save the 2A is one of the groups that’s trying to force change at the top of the National Rifle Association. As Save the 2A puts it on their web site, We support its mission and purpose as stated in the NRA bylaws. But … Read more

Father of Murdered Reporter Organizes Protest of Ted Nugent’s Roanoke Concert

July 3, 2018 by Dan Zimmerman

You may remember Alison Parker who was murdered, along with her cameraman, Adam Ward, as she conducted a live TV interview in Virginia in 2015. Since then Parker’s father, Andy Parker, has been a staunch gun control advocate. This week, with Ted Nugent’s show getting ready to roll into Roanoke for a concert, Parker has … Read more

Question of the Day: Ted Nugent for NRA Veep? [SHAKY VIDEO]

November 16, 2017 by Robert Farago

In the video below, NRA Board member Ted Nugent lets loose on gun control in his usual no-holds-barred fashion (with extra shaky camera work). Yes, NRA Board member. So when the Motor City Madman speaks truth to, well, anyone who’ll listen, he is, on some level, speaking for the NRA. Is that a good thing? … Read more

Ted Nugent: Shoot Pedophiles on Sight

October 12, 2010 by Robert Farago

Watching Ted Nugent’s sit-down with a bespectacled interviewer doing his best not to look bemused, I expected the same old same old on gun control from the Motor City Madman. You know: liberal numb-nuts, don’t tread on me, gun rights from God, yada yada yada. But Ted takes it to the limit, one more time. At 1:56 . . .

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Ted Nugent

July 21, 2010 by Robert Farago

When you think of Vietnam War protests, you probably think of hippies. Grass. LSD. Woodstock. Marches. Tear gas. Police beatings. The Kent State massacre. And no wonder: the peace movement of the late 60’s and early 70’s was almost entirely defined by its “extreme” elements. Less well known: the anti-war efforts of lawyers, journalists and gainfully-employed peace activists who worked tirelessly to sway public opinion against the war. In fact, there’s a school of thought that says hippies damaged the anti-war movement by alienating mainstream Americans, sending them straight into Richard Nixon’s loving embrace. See where I’m going with this?

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership Slam the NRA. Again. Still.

May 10, 2010 by Robert Farago

Aaron Zelman is the Founder and Director of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. He doesn’t like the National Rifle Association (NRA). Ted Nugent is a recording artist who likes the National Rifle Association. A lot. Instead of picking up the phone and calling Mr. Nugent to discuss his objections to the NRA, Mr. Zelman has penned the following open letter to the Motor City Madman. And here it is:

Dear Ted: First, I personally thank you for the valuable work you have done, and are doing, for the Second Amendment. You have used your talent, success, wit, and celebrity to fight for our freedoms.

Additionally, you are a member of the Board of Directors of the NRA. So this letter is directed to you in strictly that capacity.

Why? Because I believe that you will listen. And you have the standing and respect within the NRA to actually do something regarding the issues I’d like to bring to your attention.

We at JPFO recently received a letter from an angry and very articulate fellow who took the vast majority of gun owners to task for not being NRA members. He rightly points out that there are more than eighty million gun owners and only five million members of any pro-gun organization, the NRA obviously being the largest.

I read this fellow’s letter a couple of times, and could not fault him on his spirit or personal philosophy.

What bothered me was that he was asking me to join the NRA.

Ted, the day I’ll join the NRA is…

Hunting with Ted Nugent: As Surreal as it Gets??

February 2, 2025March 15, 2010 by Robert Farago

You wait all day for a hunting story and BAM! Two come along at once. This time, we’re talking about a truly unique (as opposed to somewhat unique) piece of sports writing: The Shawn Clark column: Hanging with Ted always top notch. Unless you’ve got headline amensia, you’ll know that the Ted in question is one Mr. Nugent a.k.a., The Motor City Madman. Not that you’d know it otherwise; our Mr. Clark is no name dropper. We only hear of Mr. Nugent’s role in the hog hunt in paragraph five. Which is: host, raconteur and agent provocateur. “But aside from the hunt, we got to hang out with the owner of the property, Ted Nugent. It’s hard not to know him if you hunt, as he is one of the biggest advocates for hunters’ rights and gun owners across the country. He brought the executive director of the NRA, Chris Cox, with him on Friday, and he talked with us about Second Amendment issues, and why we need to keep fighting for our freedoms. Those guys really knew their stuff.” I don’t know about you, but that’s about as much detail as I want. You know; about that. About other stuff, I’m all pig’s ears. Such as, whatever happened to wrestler/true American hero Dustin “Dusty” Rhodes?

Massachusetts Supreme Court Reaffirms Locked Gun Mandate

February 2, 2025March 11, 2010 by Robert Farago

Here’s another surprise (after Ted Nugent’s hunting endorsement): the Massachusetts Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment doesn’t obviate the state’s right to tell owners how to keep those guns. In other words, the Commonwealth can require gun owners to keep their firearms (both handguns and long guns) in a locked container or equipped … Read more

February 2, 2025March 10, 2010 by Robert Farago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMoq3t6zVNo The Oakland Press reports that confrontational gun rights’ advocate and occasional musician Ted Nugent provided a “motivational speech” for his granddaughter’s school. Wearing a cap from the U.S. Border patrol [read about their arsenal here kids!], the self-styled Motor City Madman told the forcibly assembled throng at the Shrine Catholic Academy and High School … Read more
