"Just know that evil, dishonesty and scam artists have always been around and that right now they're liberal, they're Democrat, they're RINOs, they're Hollywood, they're fake news, they're media, they're academia and they're half of our government at least," said Nugent, a member of the National Rifle Association's board of directors.
"So come to that realization. There are rabid coyotes running around. You don't wait till you see one to go get your gun. Keep your gun handy, and every time you see one, shoot one."
Critics slammed Nugent on social media:
Ted Nugent's opinion on guns is about as valid as Mike Huckabee's son's on dog care.

Ted Nugent is a nut to the core. And any organization that allows him to speak upon their behalf from his platform without publicly repudiating him gets the blowback they deserve. I’m a 2A supporter- but I’m looking at you .@NRA

Nugent also made headlines a week ago after he said survivors of the deadly Parkland, Florida, school shooting who are pushing for tougher gun laws "have no soul."
