WACO, Texas (CNN) -- Zero tolerance, huh? Gun-free zones, huh? Try this on for size: Columbine gun-free zone, New York City pizza shop gun-free zone, Luby's Cafeteria gun-free zone, Amish school in Pennsylvania gun-free zone and now Virginia Tech gun-free zone.

I am surprised CNN even published this. I like the "read the liberal view" part they have to put at the top of the story.:rolleyes:

[BuckeyeMike]

Tom Plate is a certified asshole!
By the way, how "gun-free" is Los Angeles? If it is an acknowledged "gun-free" zone, the asshole Tom Plate should be able to figure out just why the perp was there instead of someplace else! But then...i doubt if he's that smart.....afterall he's a f**king lib!

I like the "read the liberal view" part they have to put at the top of the story.:rolleyes:They put a similar link to Nugents' story at the top of the other page, so at least they're consistent.

I heard Ted on the Glen Beck show yesterday. He was terrific!

That anti-gun moron Tommy the Clown needs to chew a bag of prunes.

[cerebraldebris]

Can always count on Nuge to lay it out there in a no questions asked manner. Great opinion piece!
-"the brain-dead celebration of unarmed helplessness will get you killed every time"...
says it all.


One of my favorites from Nugent:
“Nuge,” who recently returned from a European tour, where he “scared the hell out of them,” was interviewed by a French reporter who asked the guitar legend: “What do you think the last thought is in the head of a deer before you shoot it? Is it? ‘Are you my friend?’ or maybe ‘Are you the one who killed my brother?’”

The guitar legend responded: “They aren’t capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, What am I going to eat next? Who am I going to screw next? And, can I run fast enough to get away? They are very much like the French in that way.”

[DoctorDoom]

They are very much like the French in that way.And yes, he did make the comment in a May 2006 interview conducted by a British journalist Robert Chalmers for The Independent on Sunday, the expanded Sunday version of the UK newspaper The Independent:"What do these deer think when they see you coming?" I ask him. "Here comes the nice guy who puts out our dinner? Or, there's the man that shot my brother?"

"I don't think they're capable of either of those thoughts, you Limey asshole. They're only interested in three things: the best place to eat, having sex and how quickly they can run away. Much like the French."Internet-spread versions of this exchange have changed the interviewer's nationality from British to French to position the rocker's observation as an even greater slap-down.Weekly World Nuge (http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/nugent.asp)

Ted for Prez in '08! :thumbup:
