Gun rights proponents Ted Nugent, Allen West lay flowers at scene of Lafayette theater shooting [View all]
Musician and National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent and former U.S. Rep. Allen West -- both proponents of gun rights -- stopped by the scene of The Grand 16 movie theater in Lafayette Saturday morning to lay flowers for the victims of Thursday night's shooting.
Nugent is in town to make an appearance at the Louisiana Outdoor Expo.
Asked about gun rights, Nugent said he was only there to show support for the victims: "I think it's inappropriate to even approach that subject," he said.

West, however, said political policy could have made a difference in this case.
