Nugent makes a great case for an armed nation; simply put, in places where there are more guns there is less crime, and where there are less guns there is more crime. That fact stands alone. But- having watched the full interview- I find Nugent’s argument stands on a shaky foundation: the Constitution.

Nugent believes that the second amendment to the United States constitution gives him the inalienable right to keep and bear arms. While that’s all well and good, and I support the spirit of that law, it is only good insofar as it is obeyed. If the government decides that you have too many guns, it will take them- law or no law, constitution or no constitution. Remember Waco?

Nugent believes that America is (potentially) free, and that being loyal to America is synonymous to being loyal to freedom. But I ask, how can we be loyal to America when the government can simply ignore it’s own laws? How can we be loyal to America when the programs and policies pushed forward by government are actively undermining our race’s ability to determine our own path forward? While I firmly believe in law and order, we have to ask- whose law and order are we loyal to? Which is why I say that basing one’s right to be armed on something as transient as a law is a very unstable foundation.

You only have a responsibility to be loyal to to your nation and it’s laws if their goals and policies are congruent with your foremost loyalty: your loyalty to your race. When the two are in opposition, your loyalty to your race must prevail because law and order mean nothing outside the context of race. When enforcing law and order we find ourselves asking, whose law and order? The law and order that would undermine our race? Certainly not. As Ben Klassen said, “ Certainly any good intelligent member of the White Race is bound to realize that such a country is his enemy, whether he likes it or not, and he owes it no loyalty whatsoever.”

You should ignore Ted Nugent, not because he’s wrong, but because the foundation of his argument is unstable. We don’t get the right to bear arms from the second amendment. We get the right to bear arms from nature’s highest law: the survival of the species. And while Nugent is busy pounding the podium and shouting “Constitution! Second Amendment!”, law and order crumbles beneath him.

In conclusion, I’ll quote from book two, chapter two of Nature’s Eternal Religion:

“No, my White Racial Comrades, our first loyalty is neither to country nor to flag nor to the Constitution, all of which are transient and subject to change. Our first loyalty lies in our blood, to our own people, to the great and wonderful White racial family.”
