Okay, here’s a 59-year-old burnt out rocker who has found his niche by touting guns as a testament to his manhood. At a recent concert in Waukegan, Illinois, Nugent proclaimed, "the blues, Snap-On Tools (and) machine guns. That's all I need."

Maybe that explains why “the stage was accessorized with animal pelts, a 50-caliber machine gun and various other assault rifles with drum magazines, not to mention a garage-sized painting of the host extending his middle finger -- while riding atop a giant disembodied hand that also had an extended middle finger.”

Oh yes, just the kind of “law abiding” citizen every mother wants for her son-in-law. Actually, Nugent, if we recall has been accused of more than one sexual encounter with underage women.

In fact, in a disturbing revelation, Courtney Love recently claimed she had a sexual encounter with “Machine Gun” Ted when she was only 12-years-old.

And according Artist Facts, Nugent “Had a relationship with a 17-year old Hawaiian girl when he was 30. He became her legal guardian in order to comply with laws regarding relationships with minors.”

According to Wikipedia:

“Using machine guns as props, Nugent appeared onstage as the final act of the inaugural ball wearing a cutoff T-shirt emblazoned with the Confederate flag and shouting offensive remarks about non-English speakers, according to press reports. The NAACP condemned Nugent's flying of the Confederate flag as a symbol of ‘the enslavement of African-Americans and more recently the symbol of hate groups and terrorists.’ Nugent himself has vociferously denied the accusations of racism in the event, describing said accusations as ‘vicious lies and hateful allegations.’”

The author of “God, Guns, & Rock 'N' Roll” is clearly a role model, a role model for gross hypocrisy.

But the NRA loves him, thinks his behavior is just the style that a “law abiding gun owner” should emulate.

Nugent took shots at just about anyone with real moral decency at his Waukegan, Illinois, appearance, vulgarly attacking Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago, who is trying to save his citizens from dying from a surge of gun violence.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, “Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley, a gun-control advocate, was roasted when Nugent picked up one of the assault rifles adorning the stage and shouted "hey, Mayor Daley, ---- you ... suck on this, you ----!" He noted that "oh, wait a minute, these aren't legal here in Illinois? ---- you."

So when a person promoting guns claims he is a “law abiding” citizen, think of Ted Nugent.

He’s on the NRA Board after all, so he knows of what he speaks.

But make sure you keep him away from your daughter and livestock.
