NRA's Ted Nugent: Lion Killing a lie, joke

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).

media matters: As outrage continued over the killing of tourist attraction Cecil the lion by a hunter in Zimbabwe, National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent called the controversy "a lie" and a "joke," adding, "God are people stupid."

On Facebook, Nugent attacked those upset by Cecil's killing on July 28, writing, "the whole story is a lie. ... I will write a full piece on this joke asap. God are people stupid."

NRA figures have previously defended controversial hunting practices. In September 2013, widespread outrage occurred after the host of NRA-sponsored hunting show Under Wild Skies, Tony Makris, shot an elephant in the face. Makris, who has longstanding ties to the NRA, responded to outrage over his hunt by comparing his critics to Hitler. NBC Sports canceled the show, citing Makris' "outrageous and unacceptable" comments

He think this will open up another "word salad bar" for him as the epitome of gun control achievement on DU.

Hunting with a bow, regardless of illegality it circumstance, does not make this an RKBA or GC issue.

Try GD, IBM, or Outdoor Life.
