Ted Nugent Compares Gun Owners to Rosa Parks

Nugent isn't quite as psychotic at that escaped mental patient from Tennessee who threatened to start killing people, but he's not far off. And now he's likening himself to one of the great nonviolent protesters in American history:

But there will come a time when the gun owners of America, the law-abiding gun owners of America, will be the Rosa Parks and we will sit down on the front seat of the bus, case closed.

Sorry, no. Gun owners are nothing like nonviolent anti-segregation civil rights activists. In fact, it was the predecessors of paleoreactionary conservatives like Ted Nugent who forced Rosa Parks and African-Americans to be second-class citizens.
