Given Mr. Nugent’s history of calling for the execution of gun control advocates, given the history of deadly anti-semitism in America (and beyond), Mr. Nugent’s thinly veiled call for violent action against Jewish gun control advocates is beyond reprehensible. It also gives aid and comfort to the forces of civilian disarmament, allowing them to portray gun owners as bigots.
Mr. Nugent should remove this post and “clarify” his statement. The NRA should distance itself from Mr. Nugent. They should revoke his membership and remove him from their Board. One more thing . . .
I’m the founder, publisher and majority owner of The Truth About Guns. Dan Zimmerman is TTAG’s managing editor and a minority shareholder. Jeremy S. is one of our primary staff writers. All three of us are Jewish.
Our belief in — and hard work for — gun rights is rooted in our heritage and our recent collective past, which saw the systematic extermination of millions of defenseless Jews. “Never again” means never again will we be defenseless against our enemies. Never again will we be disarmed.
Like all of TTAG’s staff, Dan, Jeremy and I aren’t just fighting for our right to keep and bear arms. We’re fighting for all Americans’ natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms — regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, political affiliation or sexual orientation.
That is all.

Gun owners are pressuring the National Rifle Association to boot longtime board member Ted Nugent from the organization’s leadership ranks after the rock star’s social media outburst that depicted prominent American Jews as the men and women “really behind gun control.”

It seems that people across spectrum was disgusted with Nugent's stunt.
