> Nugent Speaks Out for Gun Rights

> Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2000
> The following is the first of a two-part interview with gun rights activist
> and guitar legend Ted Nugent.
<snip>
> TN: Not at all. In fact, the statistics are irrefutable. Americans own more
> guns per capita than any society, or civilization, in the history of the
> world, yet we are at an all-time, 38-year low gun crime rate.
Notice that Mr. Nugent doesn't statistically compare crime rates with
countries such as Canada that prohibit guns.
> Now just add that up. I'm just a guitar player, so you'll have to forgive me
> because I never went to college. I was too busy learning things.
Really?
> NM: Nations around the world - including Australia, Great Britain, South
> Africa and Canada - have, for all practical purposes, banned most or all guns
> in their respective countries. How might this affect people's perspective of
> our nation's Second Amendment, and can this happen in the U.S.?
> TN: Well, first of all, people literally sacrificed their lives to try to get
> to the land of the free and the home of the brave because of the quality and
> the life experience that is based on this wonderful and hopefully perpetual
> experiment in self government. I don't remember anybody taking a raft to
> South Africa or to Australia or to Canada or to Great Britain or to Japan,
> because those people are not free.
heehee - maybe he should go to school! The sad fact is that many 'boat'
people have died trying to get to Canada. It's heartbreaking. And I
have also read stories of people dying while trying to get to Australia,
and Britain is a cosmopolitan country too. I would suggest Mr. Nugent
look beyond the borders of the US to see what is going on in the rest of
the world, but he has carved out a nice safe niche for himself.
