Ted Nugent ammo sells out, says cops won't obey Obama on guns

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 battle lines for CWII have already been drawn. Take a look at the red and blue map on a county basis. The questions are how do you determine a friend coming out of a blue county and what do you do with the blues in a red county. This won't be a state by state war. It is a war of red and blue.

Any quick perusal of a county-by-county election map shows that the "blue" areas are predominantly the concentrated Democrat parasite nests ("cities") and their immediate surroundings. The best hope for restoring America would be some kind of deadly plague that hits concentrated population areas hard. Other than that, it's all over but the wailing.

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

This may be one piece of the puzzle.

How would a state like PA be affected by a secession of TX,OK or AZ? If those states were to secede how would that cause open warfare in PA? Doesn’t make sense....

” says cops won’t obey Obama on guns”

I’d like to believe that, but after seeing how they behaved at waco, and in the aftermath of katrina, I’m a bit skeptical.

It wasn’t Clinton that made the original order at Waco, It was GHWB, don’t ever forget that.

I still say, and I predict that the USA WILL end up breaking up, along red states and blue states.

Be very careful who you bluster towards, outside the anonymity of forums like this...

One little court order and your anonymity is gone, government will have your name and address.

Ultimately Zero's failure will be in the divisions he has caused to worsen in this country. Governing a large, diverse country with multiple conflicting interests is never easy. That's why the Founders put in the buffer of a republican (small "r") government. Zero is bound and determined to get his way and the rest of us be damned. That's some seriously dangerous ground he's treading.

My question is: what's the rest of the world going to be doing while all this instability is happening in our country? They're not going to be sitting on the sidelines watching - certainly not the unfriendly ones...

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.

Not like they practice much to begin with.

Well, you are correct...Not that I regret your soothsaying, you’ve always been able to throw a welcome bucket of cold azz water on a lot of things, and rightfully so...hehehe

But I feel the immensity of the problem “they” are going to have to enforce this nonsense will target those people who are publically at the top of the food chain, and not very many of us “peas in a pod”...

That doesn’t mean I belie4ve they won’t roll the dice and try to find some of us to make a low end of the totem pole example of some of us at our level...That is a dangerous game, and one they can certainly manipulate through the media that will turn folks like us into the most hated people in this country...Dispite not having any criminal record, or other affiliations other than the ones “they do not like, like a Tea Party attendee, maybe even a member of the republican party, the NRA, GOA, Ducks Unlimited, etc etc etc...

They will be in control of the process and the information flow...Obviously...

But I still stick to my guns, that we need to be under the radar already as far as how and who we talk to about this...I believe our true super hero identities are safe for now in this forum, and that the founder has in place a procedure to protect any corrolating data (unless you’ve already blown it up out there) by some means...JR is a pretty smart guy, surrounded by like minds, and I am not worried that this website will garner much info, if somehow utilized by undesireables to paint some of us into a corner...

Just my opinion...

I believe we are like a dartboard covered in balloons...I do not believe the government will miss very much at the start...Give this time, and the few that are left might still be effective enough to resist...And resist very surgically...Take that for what it is worth...Prolly not too much, hehehe...
