Ted Nugent claims little kids aren't being killed by gunfire...

He's on crack or meth. No doubt about it.

Ted Nugent: "The Big Lie About Guns Is That Innocent Kids Are Being Gunned Down Or Are Accidentally Shooting Each Other"

NRA Board Member Compares Efforts To Call Attention To Kids Killed By Guns To Nazi-Era Propaganda Technique

National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent attacked President Obama and gun safety advocates for calling attention to the deaths of children from guns, calling such efforts "The Big Lie" -- a phrase associated with Nazi propaganda.

Gun accidents and homicides involving children happen far more frequently in the United States than in other affluent nations.

In a May 13 column posted on conspiracy website WND (World Net Daily), Nugent wrote, "The Big Lie about guns is that innocent kids are being gunned down or are accidentally shooting each other."

Arguing that "very few kids under the age of 10 die or are injured as a result of gun-related accidents," Nugent wrote, "The vast majority of teenagers who die as a result of guns are involved in gangs. They are punks, thugs and street rats who have dropped out of school and let out of their cages over and over again by a so-called 'justice system' gone bad."

Because I'd like to know what they're doing to bring their organization back from looneyville or why they haven't quit.
