I don't think at this point the discussion is about the "right to say" anything. The point of discussion at this point is what this INVITED GUEST SPEAKER of a NON-PARTISAN organization said, which you know, wasn't very non-partisan. That's what peeves me, personally.
But all this aside, we're talking right now about the effect this will have on our continued fight for constitutional carry everywhere in the US. And I don't think it was a net bonus.
Remember. Ted Nugent as far as I'm aware didn't step out of the crowd and grab the mic. He was an invited guest speaker. This means that whatever he says at a certain point is backed by the host, in this case the NRA.
He has the right to say whatever he wants, as do all of us. But that doesn't mean it's gonna help our case, or be of a net positive.
[edit]
Constitutional carry and gun ownership in the US is our goal, right? I mean, everyone, right? Or am I missing something here?
