Ted Nugent Goes Off on Piers Morgan During Fiery Gun Debate: ‘You’re So Full of Crap’

 Via Don

Rock legend Ted Nugent sat down with CNN’s Piers Morgan in a Texas gun shop on Monday to talk, well, guns. Nugent blasted Morgan over his apparent “obsession with guns” and told him to leave responsible American gun owners “the hell alone.”

Morgan began the interview by asking his guest to explain to him, “in the least inflammatory way possible,” why any American needs to own an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. Morgan had just gotten done shooting an AR-15 at a gun range and said he was surprised by the power it possessed.

After first offering prayers to the Chris Kyle and Littlefield families, Nugent told Morgan to “take it to the bank” that he would never understand the true purpose of firearms.

“You don’t understand that it’s a simple inanimate tool that tens of millions of American families own that have never caused a problem, never had an accident and will never commit a crime,” Nugent said.

Morgan countered by saying 100,000 Americans get hit by gunfire each year.

“Let me stop you there, because I’ve been hearing you say this and you’re so full of crap. Listen to me, that statistic includes bad guys shot by cops and intruders shot by homeowners. So that figure is bogus,” Nugent shot back.

Then Morgan explained that 18,000 people commit suicide using a gun every year in the U.S., to which Nugent quickly replied: “Japan has a higher suicide rate and they aren’t allowed to get downwind of a gun. 

You’re turn.”

  1. He was surprised by the power it possessed! A guy down the street bought his wife one, and I told him it was the perfect gun for women as it had almost no kick. I doubt she was surprised by the power it possessed as most of the ladies around here hunt birds, moose, or bear.

      Because I want a select fire, but the semi is cheaper, that's why.

    1. Should have brought back some goodies from Vietnam as people would break, usually AK's, down and parcel the pieces out among the stereo systems they sent back.

  3. I almost ended up with a bring back flame thrower 16 years ago. Met the guy who brought it back after he sold it. He did have some military 1897's that he had sent back. He was a tunnel rat. I would still live a flame thrower..
