>>> show." well, ted nugent , he's back at it again. the failed rock star turned pro-gun mascot was interviewed by guns.com at a shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade show , and suggested he is ready for an armed revolt against president obama . nugent received a visit from the united states secret service agents last year after speaking at the nra's annual convention. so at least they know where to find this guy.

>> i'm part of a very great experiment in self-government where we the people determine our own pursuit of happiness and our own individual freedom and liberty, not to be confused with the barack obama gang who believes in we the sheeple and actually is attempting to reimplement the tyranny of king george that we escaped from in 1776 . and if you want another concord bridge, i got some buddies.

>> ago, nugent is referring to the start of the american revolutionary war when colonial and british troops assembled at concord, massachusetts, in an unidentified soldier opened fire. better known as the shot heard around the world . so ted nugent , a self-admitted draft dodger , is advocating armed revolution against president obama , commander in chief of our nation's military forces , all because obama has proposed sensible gun safety legislation in the wake of the newtown massacre that took the lives of 20 children and six adults? this is what the extreme right calls proper discourse, as we continue to experience daily tragedies related to gun violence and this type of paranoid and dangerous rhetoric is being adopted by mainstream republican lawmakers? just read mitch mcconnell 's e-mail to his supporters warning them about gun grabbers in the united states senate . go ahead and gather your buddies, nugent , but you should know the united states military uses few horses and bayonets these days. living
