Ted Nugent ammo sells out, says cops won't obey Obama on guns
Washington Examiner ^ | January 15, 2013 | 12:39 pm | Paul Bedard

Ted Nugent, the rocker and Michigan deputy sheriff whose new line of ammunition has sold out amid gun control worries, claims members of state and federal law enforcement are poised to disobey any order by President Obama to seize guns.

Nugent, whose trained with the FBI, ATF and DEA, on Tuesday cited a group called "Oath Keepers," members of federal and state police and military organizations, who will not enforce laws that conflict with the Constitution and presumably the Second Amendment right to arms.

In an interview with the "Andrea Tantaros Show with Jason Mattera," Nugent said that if ordered to seize his guns, the "Oath Keepers" would refuse. "First of all," he said if military or law enforcement officials showed up at his Texas ranch, "I'd slice them a shank of venison because most of them are my friends."

He explained: "There is an official organization called 'Oath Keepers,' and these are heros of law enforcement and the military who will not obey an order, an illegal, anti-Constitution, oath-breaking order to infringe that far on our Second Amendment rights."

He predicted that "many will" refuse to enforce orders violating their interpretation of the Second Amendment, but not all, and he cited the Waco, Texas attack during the Clinton administration, as an example.

The Oath Keepers webpage details broadly the group's mission: "Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.

"Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial."

In the interview, Nugent also revealed that Obama's threat to gun owners has helped him sell out his new line of ammunition for rifles and pistols.

"I'm in the gun industry," he said. "I have my own Ted Nugent line of ammo that has sold out every pallet that we can back into a sporting goods store."

The trick is evading the law. If your a law enforcer and you don’t want to get fired you do your job but you do it in the way that insures failure for reasons you fail to report.

Like it or not military type organization such as our modern police forces are what our forefathers would have termed a standing army.

What that means is that theses organizations host military type structure’s designed to strip its members of their individual judgement in-favor of somewhat blind obedience to the command structured(IE State). It is true that we required them to take an oath, but in practice as has been demonstrated many times over our history. The oath will at best only slow the progress of tyranny. It will not even come close to halting it.

Those aren’t your average brass cases my FRiend. Those TN cartridges are made from unobtainium.
Tungsten-core Barnes bullets, titanium jacketed. And not gunpowder but pure TNT with electronic primers.
In the fraction of a second it takes to travel from the muzzle down range it sounds like a rock cat in heat.

I recall it as well.

I also recall another force, that superceded its country military, about 80 years ago.

I hope for the sake of the USA that Nugent has the straight info, but I doubt he can include cops that try to tell me my pellet rifle is covered by a non-existent local code.

After all, they want to go home to their families at night, and unlike dogs, gun owners can protect themselves. :P

You'll pay $43.49 for comparable hunting loads of .308 Nosler Custom at Cheaper Than Dirt or

$29.19 for American Eagle target .308 ammo.

It's all over the top now.

It’s insane. I remember when a good 30.06 cartridge was worth about .75 cents. Little more than ten years ago.

You see the trend.
They only want the rich to be able to afford guns for defense.
The middle class gets the squeeze.

Obama said without being asked about gun control in the 2nd debate with Romney that he wanted an AWB AND wanted to ban INEXPENSIVE Firearms.

I was listening.
He offered this with no prompting.

Now folks are surprised.

My personal belief is that the war on guns is a cover for something else, but that’s just me being cynical.

I was thinking along the same lines, but right now, my theory is that O is overloading the system with his agenda. Hell, the debt ceiling is a distraction from the gun debate, and the gun debate is a distraction from the debt ceiling. And it's all a distraction from the implementation of Obamacare, and so on. He's going for broke and is making his big play. The GOP traitors, fools, jackasses, and pussies in Congress will be outmaneuvered, shouted down, and overwhelmed. They will be playing their stupid little "go along to get along" game and seeking their precious "dialogue" and "compromise", while a dictator in the making is blowing past them at 100 mph.

The gun issue is critically important to this administration, make no mistake. They've pursued it like crazy, and NEED to use it to demonize, criminalize, and ultimately disarm their enemies.

Yep, women, children and minorities hit hardest.

If 0bamugabe were white and Republican and said and did the exact same things he would be known as the most racist, fascist hate monger America has ever seen. By the left!

Big deal, all ammo has sold out. I have a friend who has been waiting for Walmart to restock their ammo for weeks. The store managers said they don’t have much on hand. My friend asked why don’t they stock up on ammo. He said the corporation won’t let them stock up and is holding ammo from the stores pending coming changes in the law.

I keep telling my friend to quit Walmart and stock up on gunshows. I haven’t been to a gun show since the NY school shooting but I hear ammo is in scant supply.

I think I read here a day or two ago that some police departments are low on ammo and can’t getting their orders filled right now so they are cutting back on marksmanship training. Stunning.

The cops who kill family dogs first and ask questions later are the cops who will shove mama away and confiscate the guns and ammo. Modern police forces are recruiting and grooming cops who will gladly be the type “just following zee orders like a gut little Nazi”.

It’s coming. The new breed are against us.

This won't be a state by state war.

Wrong. It will be a state by state war with some states like PA being in a flux, border state.
