Ted Nugent on Gun Control

Anticipating one of your standard responses: Yes. This is a hypothetical and an unlikely one at that. However, I ask b/c, given your past assertion that the Constitution must be respected, I am curious to see if you would continue to hold that belief if the body of government charged with interpreting the Constitution determined you were not entitled to have a gun.

Less hypothetical - if the ruling in Heller in any way allows for the restriction of personal ownership of guns, will you comply with the restrictions?

I know that this was for JSARNO, but I could not resist. This is not always feesable.

1. Would you trust a 21 year old man with only 3 years experience with weaponry vs. a 38 year old retiree with 20 years because the 18 year old is in the guard and the retiree is done with the military alltogether.

2. The weapons used by the National Guard are issued to them and are held at a centralized arms room. If for some reason thase arms rooms were seized by the hypothetical enemy, then what?

I will tell you what; we are in trouble because in your world we either dont have weapons, or we have less experience backing them.

First, the National Guard was just an example and the opinions and transcript I have cited deal with this issue (i.e. - Federal control of state arms).

More importantly, I was not asking whether or not someone believed this was a correct decision. Rather, I was asking if this unlikely hypothetical eventuality became a reality, would you comply?

[Just want to be clear: I am not in favor of banning guns and would opppose any determination by the S.Court that would result in my hypothetical becoming a reality. At the same time, I would do so through the legal process rather than by unlawful action].

I see what you are saying. To put it simply I am happy until they try to take my guns away. I would hope to maintain posession of them legally, but I would take any and all necessary actions to maintain possession of my own firearms.

Fair enough. Further, I would assert that a complete ban will not occur and could not occur under the Constitution as currently written.
