    "Famous rocker Ted Nugent performed in Roanoke on Tuesday night. Nugent is a gun rights supporter and encourages open carry, but his fans were told at the last minute that they were not allowed to bring their guns inside the Berglund Performing Arts Theater."

    "It was Ted Nugent's management that made the decision to not allow guns into the show. The Berglund Center said because it is city owned, it can't keep guns out unless the performers are the ones who request it, and that it was actually in Nugent's contract all along, but was in a sub-contract between Nugent and his promoter that wasn't shared with Berglund Center management until the last minute."

    Now I'm confused, there can't be a bigger gun hugger than Ted Nugent, serves on the NRA Board of Directors, and gun huggers have been tell us for decades that the more guns out there the safer we all are, so, according to the logic, wouldn't Ted have been safer if everyone in the audience was packing? The more "good guys" out there with guns the safer Ted should have been, yet, Ted banned guns

    Now why do you suppose that happened?

    Too many leftist nutjobs in Virginia, where the governor tries to get felons voting, as well.

    Steve Scalise' attempted assassination during the democrat attempted murder spree was in Virginia...

    "Given the things that have happened in nightclubs like the Pulse and what happened in Manchester, (Nugent's) security people are taking extra precautions," Schon said. "They are not novices; they are very seasoned people."

    WTH? I thought if we allowed good guys with guns, then they can take care of the bad guys? Apparently, Nugent talks the talk but won't walk the walk. What a hypocrite.

    This is worthy of impeaching the president in my opinion.

    Oh look, more lies.

    Fake news, brother.

    All one needs do is go to their website, and right there in black and white is their firearms policy for the Center.

    The left is so dumb.

    If the story is true there are two possibilities,
    1. There were threats made and this decision removes liability from Nugent.
    or
    2.. The turned into a bet wetting, Birkenstock wearing, tie dyed, open borders, abolish ICE, free **** for everybody raving lunatic Bernie Sanders socialist.

    We will get our answer as the concert starts, Look at Nugent's attire. If he is wearing a pink knit pussyhat it's #2.

    3. The center has never allowed weapons into it, as per their website.

    They say ILLEGAL firearms and Concealed. Roanoke VA allow open carry, so how can they deny anyone to bring in guns. Funny thing is how you right wingers usually call out this type establishment to allow guns. What a confused bunch.

    The narrative is a lie, it was easily sourced as a lie, and yet the left peddles bullshit like their lives depend on it.

    I have no doubt the same suspects will try this again at a later date, as they always do.

    The right does call for establishments to allow guns, but we respect when a private owner of a venue decides not to allow it, and we obey their wishes.

    We don't dress up in Cobra Commander gear and smash them over the heads with bike locks like the left.

    So according to gun logic then Ted would have been safer with more guns in attendance, yet he banned guns.

    You should be able to answer, why do you think Teddy banned guns at his own show?

    Well if it is a "lie" as you say, then it should be easy for you to show us where guns were not banned and that it was Ted himself who banned the guns

    Should we wait?
