Gun rights activists need to follow in the footsteps of civil rights icon Rosa Parks, according to musician-turned-conservative pundit Ted Nugent.
“In 2014, gun owners must learn from Rosa Parks and definitely refuse to give up our guns,” Nugentwrites, in a column published Thursday by World Net Daily and flagged by Media Matters. “As Rosa Parks once said, ‘You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.’”
Nugent criticized Connecticut lawmakers for creating what he described as “the invasion of the gun snatchers.” The gun control law signed by Gov. Dannel Malloy last April expanded the list of banned rifles in the state, and required those who already owned the newly-illegal weapons to register them.
While owners registered close to 50,000 of the guns in order to comply with the new law, according to the Hartford Courant, as many as 100,000 owners may be flouting the law by not registering.Nugent compares those gun owners to Parks’ famous 1955 act of civil disobedience.
“Regardless what our gun-snatching Fedzillacrats claim, banning so-called ‘assault weapons’ will not reduce crime rates and will not make you any safer,” he wrote. “What will make you much safer is returning these Fedzillacrats who are drunk on power and control to the unemployment lines this November.”
Gun advocates have challenged the Connecticut law in court, but earlier this year a federal judge upheld the legislation, finding it burdens but does not violate Second Amendment rights.
