Re:\u00a0 NRA<\/p>\n
Mr. Nugent:<\/p>\n
Re the word that you are discussing Trunning for the presidency of the National Rifle Association…:<\/a><\/p>\n We hear that the Nuge is being urged to get into the race, and a key NRA insider tells us: “He does have a grass-roots following.” That’s for sure. The singer of “Cat Scratch Fever” fame and 23 albums is being promoted on Facebook. While Nugent is an NRA board member, he doesn’t have the type of top slot in the organization normally needed to springboard somebody into the presidency. Even Charlton Heston, who played Moses in Hollywood, worked his way up to the presidency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Whatever your chops as a guitar player (formidable), talk show host (adequate) or grassroots advocate for shooters (stellar)…:<\/p>\n But Nugent tells Whispers he stands ready to battle the antigunners in Washington. “Clearly, the NRA is the ultimate ‘we the people,’ family, grass-roots organization for what is clearly Job 1 for free men everywhere: to guarantee our God-given right to keep and bear arms and defend ourselves,” he tells our Suzi Parker. “To be so honored to participate in any way, as an NRA board member or the ultimate honor of serving as president, would surely be a duty I would put my heart and soul into. I am genuinely moved that it is even being discussed. I am ready, willing, and able to serve if the good NRA members call upon me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n …I gotta ask – can we really see you addressing Congress, the Supreme Court or anyone that isn’t already a gun-totin’ true believer?<\/p>\n
