The LA Times recently speculated that rocker Ted Nugent is prepared to replace Charlton Heston as popular culture’s most outspoken proponent of the 2nd Amendment.
In fact, he debuted his new song, “I Am the NRA,” this past weekend at the 2008 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits convention in Louisville, Ky.
The Times wrote, “An iconoclast who lives the defiant, gun-toting lifestyle he espouses, Nugent makes his home on a ranch in Crawford, Texas, is a sheriff’s deputy in Michigan and carries a concealed Glock Model 20 everywhere — even into the recording studio.”
“I’m a ranching guy. I’m a hunting guy,” he says. “I’m Natty Bumppo meets Daniel Boone. This is how I live. . . . I don’t tremble and I don’t back off. . . .”
Nugent routinely plays at the NRA annual convention and says he is in the “heyday” of his career, performing concerts, writing bestselling books and starring in multiple reality TV shows.
