In a recent episode of Spirit Campfire, Ted Nugent shared why he needs a weapon for Brazil and Europe trips.

“No man has authority over my constitutional carry,” the singer said. “I was born with constitutional carry. I don’t need paperwork for my god-given rights you numbnut oath violating Jackboot bureaucrat dirtbags.”

He continued, “I have a First Amendment. While I’m alive wherever I may roam on planet Earth. ‘Well, what about Brazil?’ If I would ever go to that… I wouldn’t go there but if I would, I would carry a gun and I would speak my mind.”

“When I toured Europe, ‘Well, they have gun laws.’ Yeah, they have gun laws against Kalashnikov machine guns in Paris France but they killed people at the concert with Kalashnikovs in Paris France, just like this scum in Madison, Wisconsin that killed the student and the teacher,” Nugent added.

The rocker went on to elaborate, “‘Well, we need a bad high-capacity magazine.’ She didn’t use a high-capacity magazine. ‘We need universal background check.’ It wouldn’t have changed things. I dare all you anti-gunners. I dare you.”

“Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe ‘Satan’ Biden, and your gang of punks. Write the law that would have stopped any of these crimes that were already violating hundreds of laws,” Ted concluded.

Nugent also spoke about the constitutional carry law in a 2021 interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He said at the time, “I have a right to keep and bear arms on the ground in the United States of America; it’s a God-given right.”

“This Second Amendment consideration is on par with science-based hunting regulations to allow us to perform our conservation responsibilities, as well as our self-defense responsibilities,” Nugent further noted.

Previously in 2018, Nugent was accused of banning guns at his July 17 Roanoke show, though he supports the Second Amendment, as WSLS 10 News reported. Venue staff said his team asked for the ban before the show, turning away two fans with guns. Nugent denied it on Facebook, calling it ‘fake news’ and saying guns were allowed.
