"The Nuge says we should all be "hardcore, radical extremeists, demanding the right to self defense." From where I stand, demanding the right to self defense is NOT hardcore, radical or extreme. Demanding the right to self defense is NO DIFFERENT than demanding the right to free speech, the right to religious freedom, or the right to be secure in our homes."

I see the point you are making here, and I agree with you, but these other rights don't have so many people trying to destroy them. In an ideal world, this would be the case, but since the anti-gun sentiment is so strong, I think Nugent is simply saying that we need to buckle down and fight with everything we have.
