OFF: Ted Nugent - this ones for Mike

[Andy Gilham]

Tell you what, they could have coin-op gun-dispensers in every school.
That'd cut down the number of shootings, no trouble.

> Aug. 15, 2000 | DENVER (AP) -- In his new book, rocker Ted Nugent
> suggests that students could have stopped last year's Columbine
> massacre by rushing one of the two gunmen.
> Nugent, an avid bowhunter and a director of the National Rifle
> Association, also wrote that the April 20, 1999, shooting proved
> people should be allowed to carry concealed weapons. "Even Eric
> Harris and Dylan Klebold were nearly robotic in their methodical
> slaughter. After emptying a double-barreled shotgun, one knelt with
> his back to grown adults and athletes, sniveling, while he conversed
> with his next victim for minutes on end," Nugent wrote in "Gods, Guns
> and Rock N' Roll".
> He autographed copies of his book Monday at a downtown book store as
> two police officers stood guard.
> Tattered Cover Book Store owner Joyce Meskis said the store received
> several complaints about the event.
> "But to inject our bias or the bias of another group into the
> decision over whether to allow an author to come is an affront to the
> First Amendment," she said.
> Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was one of the 12 students killed at
> Columbine, called Nugent's statements "despicable."
> "I think he's living in this fantasy world where kids are crybabies
> if they don't fight back against somebody holding a gun," Mauser
> said.
> Mauser, who said his son was shot a second time after shoving a chair
> at one of the gunmen, said he thought the killers were too well-armed
> for students to have been able to stop them.
