Ah yes! Celebrate with me won’t you the glowing perfection of this phenomenal one of a kind, unprecedented, uniquely American we the people experiment in self-government in the good old US of A!

Say it loud and proud; “Glory Glory Hallelujah and God bless America and the mighty National Rifle Association!”

By Ted Nugent

Nowhere on earth or in the history of humankind will you find a more powerful, profound, independence and freedom celebrating and demanding grass roots family organization that comes anywhere close to the perfection of the mighty NRA.

As we have stated the glaringly obvious so many times before, our sacred 2^nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms has absolutely nothing to do with our beloved deerhunting lifestyle, but quite honestly, without the 2^nd Amendment, all such freedoms including the natural right to hunt would be gone with the wind.

For the same reason our courageous founding fathers escaped the evil tyranny of King George to begin anew in this new magic land of America, they knew in their hearts of hearts that the deer didn’t belong to the king, and they knew damn well that individual free people had as much right to keep and bear arms as did the king and his evil henchmen.

These spiritually powerful driving forces to live free or die were alive and well all these many years later in Louisville Kentucky last weekend as 80,000 working hard, playing hard, hunting hard, rocking hard American families joined together to celebrate the 145^th Anniversary of our beloved NRA.

I am here to tell you that I walked amongst and connected with the finest human beings alive on this planet. Men and women and entire families dedicated to fight for our God given, individual, US Constitutionally guaranteed rights and demand accountability from our elected employees oath bound to abide by the self-evident truth based American rights and freedoms.

It was so beautiful my feet barely touched the ground.

Fine, upstanding people from every imaginable walk of life, color, creed, ethnicity, religion and background, all united to fight for our most basic instinct to self-defense and the right to keep and bear arms.

Acres and acres of guns, ammo, sporting goods, hunting gear, accessories of every description and the experts and mad scientists dedicated to continually improving the goods and services that bring us such amazing quality of life in the various shooting disciplines and outdoor lifestyle were there to enjoy.

I am here to tell you it was wall to wall goodwill, decency, positive spirit and energy like you will not find at any other gathering anywhere, anytime.

NRA members are simply hard core, gungho, balls-to-the-wall freedom fighters of the finest order, representing this phenomenal we the people American Dream to absolute perfection.

With the commonsense endorsement of Republican candidate Donald Trump for president, an authoritative battlecry for getting America back on track resonated throughout the five day event.

I am extremely proud to report that for the 22^nd year in a row I was voted once again onto the prestigious NRA Board of Directors, with again some of the most votes ever, and for that I thank you all.

It is written in stone that I will forever stand absolute for our unambiguous God given individual right to keep and bear arms, and will fight relentlessly to end the criminal oath violating infringement thereof that is running amok across America.

KEEP means it’s mine and you can’t have them.

BEAR means I’ve got some on me right now, and they’re loaded.

Until that is the clear and present law of the land, our battle will never end.

If you believe in American individual freedom, if you believe that we the people are the guiding force for a free America, you really have to be an NRA member. I can assure you from a lifetime on the frontlines for 2^nd Amendment rights, that without the mighty NRA, American citizens would already be unarmed and helpless, and we all know how tragic that would be.

Be the best we the people you can be by being an active member in the NRA and making sure everyone in your life is too.

NRA = Freedom. Pure and simple. Happy 145^th NRA. Visit NRA.org and be a force to reckon with. America needs you.
