Rock and Roll legend Ted Nugent contends that a lot of what is wrong with this country could be remedied by a simple, but controversial concept: gun ownership.
This book begins with two quotes from the Bible:Genesis 9:3 "Every moving thing that liveth, shall be meat for you".Genesis 27:3 "Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out and take me some venison".Then there are two quotes from our founding fathers:Thomas Jefferson: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun.....Let your gun therefore, be the constant companion of your walks".George Washington:"Firmarms stand next in importance to the Constituton itselt. They are the American people's liberty, teeth, and keystone under our independence....From the hour the pilgrims landed, to the present day events,occurances & tendancies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle & pistol are equally indispensable....the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."Ted is Biblically Correct, not Polictically Correct!!!!Ted has been a law enforcement officer, he has served as a special deputy sheriff for one or more of Michigan's County's.This book is full of qoutes from Ted, one such quote is "There is a simple answer to crime. It's called enforcing the law."Ted saved the life of a law enforcement officer,while on vacation in Miami Beach.Two thugs had an officer down and were fighting for his gun. Ted intervened he showed the thugs, his badge, pointed his pistol at them, and told them to stop, or he'd kill them. They stopped! Ted called 911, explained the situation and requested assistance. Soon backup law enforcement arrived, and the downed Miami Beach police officer was saved. The 2 thugs went to jail. Thanks for Ted & his Gun!!!Ted is actively involved in the D.A.R.E. program, designed to teach kids about the life skills needed to avoid involvement with drugs & alcohol abuse, and to avoid gang membership, and violence in general. Ted is a great role model!!!! Ted also, sponsers camps for kids to teach them about nature, and how to be responsible.Another quote from Ted, "To be against law abiding citizens carrying concealed handguns is literally encouraging and assisting evil". Another qoute "To be against law abiding citizens carrying concealed handguns, is literally encouraging and assisting evil to have the upper hand". Plus, "when the law disarms good guys, bad guys rejoice.".Another quote from Ted (Chapter 11), "IF GUNS CAUSE CRIME, all of mine are defective." (Because none of Ted's guns have ever commited a crime). Plus, "And if handguns are made only for killing people as the actions of Sarah Brady, and her lying scum friends like Dianne Feinstein & Charlie Schummer would suggest, then swimming pools are made only for drowning, and ladders are made only for falling off of. Sheer unadulterated nonsense".Ted presents an example of how guns in the hands of law abiding citizens have saved innocent lives & property. According to the book, "Remember, the only block still standing in South Central Los Angeles following the Rodney King debacle were those buildings owned & protected by the Korean shop owners who positioned themselves on rooftops with semi-automatic firepower and had the will to use it." "Can you imagine the depth of irresponsible dependency that allows anyone to intentionally render their family defenseless?"Ted gives more examples of how guns in the hands of law abiding citizens, have saved lives, and how the killings at Columbine, and the massacre at Luby's in Texas could have stopped, or at least stopped additional murders. For example the killings at the school in Pearl, Mississippi: "Remember the tragedy ...where 2 students were murdered and 7 more were injured by a boy named Luke Woodham?" "Little was reported was the fact that his rampage was halted by Joel Myrick...because this teacher had a .45 pistol in his car." "The network news almost entirely ignored the fact that it was an armed teacher who stopped this murdering of innocent school children."Ted also discusses the shooting at the Washington, D.C. Zoo, by a teenager between 15 & 17. In response, Connecticut Senator Christoper Dodd had the audacity to say that this shooting proves we need more gun laws. IN FACT WE ALREADY HAD GUN LAWS (THAT IF OBEYED & ENFORCED COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS). THESE LAWS ARE PROPLE UNDER 18 ARE FORBIDDEN FROM OWNING OR POSSESSING HANDGUNS. ALL FIREARMS ARE BANNED IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DISCHARGING A FIRARM IN THE CITY LIMITS IS AGAINST THE LAW. SHOOTING AT PEOPLE IS ILLEGAL. COULD ANY SERIOUS THINKING PERSON THINK THAT ANOTHER GUN LAW WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS "UNLAWFUL" SHOOTING????Ted also gives examples of how the Columbine massacre could have been limited, and stopped. He states as a fact based on eye witnesses that the 2 murderers, Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold had to stop several times to reload. At these times both were totally vunerable to being killed immediately, so that no more murders would have occurred. However, their were no "armed" teachers or "armed' law abiding citizens to stop this massacre. Ted says "How dare politicians continue to pass insane laws forcing good law-abiding people to be defenseless & helpless".Ted also, points out that the massacre at Luby's resturant in Texas, could have been stopped, because the muderer had to stop several times to reload, leaving him totally vunerable to have been stopped and killed, in order to prevent the murdering of more innocent people.Ted has never been a drug or alcohol abuser!!!! He has a "sound mind, and not a spirit of fear", as mentioned in the bible.Ted is a strong gun rights advocate. Another quote from Ted is "Criminals celebrate when politicians clear the way for (criminals) destructive ways."Ted also brings out how the liberal controlled news networks, and other media, plain out right lie about guns & violence. Ted points out facts about how more kids are killed by means other than guns, but the liberal media lies, and blames the guns.Ted talks about the Editor of Rolling Stone magazine, Jann Wenner and about how he left his wife & kids to be with his boyfriend, and that this guy lies to his readers about guns & violence.Ted talks about how hypocritical some of the ultra, liberal, rock stars are, in always propagating lies about gun deaths & violence, when in FACT FAR MORE ROCK STARS AND THEIR FANS, ARE KILLED BY DRUG & ALCOHOL ABUSE, THAN BY GUNS. IF THEY ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT DEATH, WHY DON'T THEY ATTACK THE DRUG & ALCOHOL ABUSE PROBLEM???As I mentioned before this book contains many, many quotes by Ted, too many to memtion in a book review, but you can tell, Ted is full of common sense. He doesn't have a reprobate mind, like some of the liberal media, and some of the liberal rock stars have.Ted is a family man. He is an excellent father, & husband. Ted is an avid sportsman, and hunter. He is a bow hunter, as well as a hunter with guns. He respects nature, and he doesn't kill, just to kill. What he kills, he eats, or in rare cases he kills for ecology reasons. For example on a safaria in Africa, he legally killed an Elephant because, there were too many elphants in this particular eco-system to survive on the foodstuff that was available for them. So, the responsible government in charge of this issued permits to kill a limited number of elephants, so that the remander of elephants would have enough food in this eco-system to survive. Ted is a supporter of wildlife, nature, the ecology, and the environment.Ted practices gun ownership responsibility, and he encourages gun responsibility.Ted is very candid about his experiences with guns, and about how he has been negligent with guns at times. However, he learned from these incidents, and at the time of publication, it has been 6 years,since he had a negligent incident with a gun. It should be noted, that no person or animal was injured when these incidents occurred. Ted realizes that guns should be respected, and handled responsibly.Near the center portion of the book, there are pictures of Ted, as a boy, with family members, with the Amboy Dukes (Ted's 1st major band), Ted & his dad, Ted & his wife Shemane, Ted with his "hunting & life mentor" Fred Bear, and many, many more of Ted on some of his hunting adventures, & with other people, including John F.Kennedy Jr.& Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.Also, Chapter 37 is about Fred Bear, Ted's mentor in hunting & in life. It begins with the lyrics to the song "Fred Bear", which Ted wrote as a tribute to Fred Bear, a lengendary outdoorsman & hunter.Ted talks about Thanksgiving, and giving thanks to God.Ted is one of the Greatest rock & roll guitarist and musicians of all times.Ted has been performing rock & roll for over 40+ years, and he is still going strong at age 60. He seens like a 30 year old, just watch his latest concert dvd "Motor City Mayhem".Ted Nugent respects GOD, Freedom, Guns, Responsibility, Hunting, the Outdoors and good wholesome Rock & Roll. There you have it in a "nutshell" Ted stands for GOD, GUNS & ROCK & ROLL (NOT SEX, DRUGS, & ROCK & ROLL - like the drug/alcohol abusers stand for).May God Bless TED, the ultimate role model. And may God Bless the U.S.A.This is a great book and is very relevent for the times we are living in now. Even though it was published around 2000, it is even more relevant now. Thanks!!!!May God Bless Ted. May God Bless the U.S.A. May God Bless Our Rights to Bear Arms.Thanks, and May God Bless You!!!!P.S. These are some personal notes. They are not part of the book review. Recently Ted has been actively involved in the "Take Back America", "Tea Party" events. These are law abiding citizens, exercising their right of free speech, and they are protesting the direction our Country is currently going in. They, like me want our freedom. They, like me are protesting the current administration for allowing government to gain greater control over our personal freedoms, and they are protesting the overspending, and the socialization of America, especially the government takeover of our healthcare system. Plus, they are protesting against the current administration for making America more vunerable to our enemies, by releasing previously, classified information to our enemies, & essentially aiding and abetting our enemies. Thanks and May God Bless The U.S.A. and may it continue to be the greatest country on earth.
