TED NUGENT's Wife Speaks in Support Of The Second Amendment
May 11, 2004Shemane Nugent, wife of veteran rocker Ted Nugent, was the featured speaker at the Second Amendment Sisters rally, held on Sunday (May 9) in Washington, D.C. The Second Amendment Sisters rally was staged in response to the anti-gun Million Mom March, which was billed as the kickoff to the "Halt the Assault" tour, a nationwide campaign to renew the so-called "assault weapons" ban, which expires in September.
Nugent, who published her own book, "Married to a Rock Star", last year, said many of the anti-gun activists simply don't understand the issues.
"A lot of the women at the Million Mom March don't really want all guns to be banned," Nugent told CNSNews.com. "They just are misguided."
"I probably would have been a member of the Million Mom March," she added, "because it is an emotional issue and nobody wants more violence. But the only way you can see the truth is to experience it. We need to reach out to these people ... we've got to go talk to them."
The gun-rights rally featured Nugent, as well as Miss New Mexico Junior Teen Sarah Rouse, Congress of Racial Equality national spokesman Niger Innis, the Rev. Joyce Smith and Coalition for a Fair Judiciary President Kay Daly, among other speakers. [Read more]
