Native Michigan rock and roller Ted Nugent may be poised for a campaign to become president of the National Rifle Association. An avid hunter and gun rights enthusiast, Nugent has been a member of the NRA’s Board of Directors since 1995.
 

But Nugent tells Whispers he stands ready to battle the antigunners in Washington. “Clearly, the NRA is the ultimate ‘we the people,’ family, grass-roots organization for what is clearly Job 1 for free men everywhere: to guarantee our God-given right to keep and bear arms and defend ourselves,” he tells our Suzi Parker. “To be so honored to participate in any way, as an NRA board member or the ultimate honor of serving as president, would surely be a duty I would put my heart and soul into. I am genuinely moved that it is even being discussed. I am ready, willing, and able to serve if the good NRA members call upon me.”

His campaign may be made more difficult by his tendency to say outrageous things. Even for the NRA, having a president who goes around saying things like, “Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun” and “Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch” would likely be a problem. You can watch him say those things on video here.
