Ted Nugent Sides with Donald Trump’s Attacks on Megyn Kelly

Ted Nugent, a board member on NRA and defender of right-wing Republican politics, told WIBX’s Keeler in the Morning that he is not a fan of Megyn Kelly, but he sometimes tune to Fox to watch her, and he usually watch her while sitting “naked on the couch.”

Nugent’s sexist comment is no surprise and comes days after Megyn Kelly asked Trump about sexist comments he has made about women in the past. Trump, the Republican frontrunner for President in 2016, later explained that when Kelly asked the question, “she had blood coming out of her wherever,” a clear reference to menstruation.

“I’m a big fan of Donald Trump because I believe in bold, aggressive, unapologetic truth. Period,” Nugent said. “And I’m not a fan of Megyn Kelly, although I often turn on Fox just to look at her. Sometimes when I’m loading my [gun ammunition] magazines. I like to just look at her. And I usually sit naked on the couch dropping hot brass on my stuff.”

Then he commented on Kelly’s question to Trump about his sexist behavior.

“I’m afraid the gorgeous, stunning, otherwise professional and tuned-in Megyn Kelly absolutely fell of the cliff of political correctness when she proposed that obnoxious, meaningless, nonsensical, biased question for Donald Trump.”

“Megyn Kelly absolutely broke all of our hearts as only a Megyn Kelly could when she went into the status quo world. She isn’t status quo, but she started acting, and sounding, and looking like one, and I don’t believe she is. I think she is playing some games, either that or she’s getting bad advice, either that or she’s just getting stupid. Either way, Donald Trump is the good guy, currently Megyn Kelly ain’t.”

#GunSense – 5 Year Old Shoots 9 Month Old Baby Brother in the Head

And once again, another killing, sanctioned and approved by the no-regulations-more-guns NRA and the foot soldiers of the NRA, Republican party.

The mother called 911 to say her 5-year-old boy shot his baby brother with a paintball gun.

But it wasn’t a paintball gun. It was a .22-caliber Magnum revolver. And the 9-month-old boy didn’t survive.

Authorities are trying to figure out what led to Monday’s shooting in Elmo, in the northwest corner of Missouri.

“At this point foul play is not suspected, and it appears at this time that the shooting was accidental,” the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office said.

Sheriff Darren White told CNN affiliate KCTV that the baby was in a playpen when his brother found the gun lying around a bed.

When emergency crews arrived, they found the infant had been shot in the head. The child was flown to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, where he was pronounced dead, the station reported.

NRA say “More Guns” will Stop Crime – Meanwhile, Customers at Gun Ranges Robbed at Gunpoint

Wayne LaPierre

According to NRA’s Wayne LaPierre, more guns is the answer to all the shootings and gun crimes in this country.  LaPierre will have you believe that criminals only attack places where there is a “no guns” policy in effect.

Well this story just put a bullet right in the heart of that theory – robberies at Gun ranges.

Officials say two suspects – Poteet and Chandler – were involved in two holdups at two different gun ranges — the first at Yury’s Gun Range in Philly’s West Poplar neighborhood and the second at the Delaware Valley Sports Center in the city’s Bustleton neighborhood.

The suspects waited in a parked car, a late model dark colored 2-door coupe, outside of the ranges until potential victims exited.

They robbed a 68-year-old man at gunpoint outside Yury’s at 544 N. Percy St. around 6:40 p.m. June 11, emptying the victim’s pockets and taking off with his backpack, which contained two .22 caliber handguns, according to authorities.

The following day, the pair went to Delaware Valley Sports Center at 101 Geiger Road and pulled off the same heist on an unsuspecting 67-year-old man, who was leaving the range with a friend around 8:40 p.m., according to police.

Officials say they demanded the two men hand over their cash and guns. Even though the victims were cooperating, Chandler fired a shot, striking the 67-year-old and critically wounding him, according to authorities.

More Mass Shootings, Same Old Non-Response from Congress

And this is the way things will be until we get a Congress brave enough to take on the NRA.

After the shooting at University of California, Santa Barbara on Friday, a rampage that left six students dead, many parents and politicians found the federal government’s past responses to similar tragedies to be one of the culprits. “Have we learned nothing?” Richard Martinez, father of one of the victims, said. “These things are going to continue until somebody does something, so where the hell is the leadership?”

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Calif.) had a similar response on CBS’s Face the Nation. “Congress will be complicit if we fail to act.”

The statements felt familiar — we’ve heard similar exhortations for Congress to pass new gun legislation after many mass shootings. However, we also hear arguments for loosening gun restrictions, arguments that have proved far more successful. Since 13 people were killed at Columbine High School in 1999, Congress has passed one major law strengthening gun control in the aftermath of a mass shooting.

In other words, it doesn’t matter how many Americans lose their lives in senseless mass shootings, as long as Congress keep their jobs, everything’s okay.

NRA Say Democrats are “Unethical” For Trying to Save Lives

Apparently, Democrats are unethical people proposing unethical laws, like trying to fund research that will cut down on gun-dearhs in America. So say the NRA.

The new legislation, which will be introduced by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) in the House, and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) in the Senate, would give the CDC $10 million a year “for the purpose of conducting or supporting research on firearms safety or gun violence prevention.”

“In America, gun violence kills twice as many children as cancer, and yet political grandstanding has halted funding for public health research to understand this crisis,” Maloney said in a statement.

A National Rifle Association spokeswoman called the push for new CDC funding “unethical.”

“The abuse of taxpayer funds for anti-gun political propaganda under the guise of ‘research’ is unethical,” spokeswoman Catherine Mortensen said in a statement to ProPublica. “That is why Congress should stand firm against President Obama’s scheme to undermine a fundamental constitutional right.”
