Ted Nugent--the Motor City Madman--He's got a new brand of justice he wants to unload on America.  Thing is--I'm not sure he wouldn't be a subject of that justice.  In a meeting of NRA supporters, the washed-up rocker went on a rant of his own:

With an assault weapon in each hand, rocker and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent urged National Rifle Association members to be "hardcore, radical extremists demanding the right to self defense."

"Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em!" he screamed to applause. "To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

But its unclear whether or not the Motor City Madman would survive his own brand of justice.  Take, for example, the lyrics to his 1975 hit Stranglehold:

Like a dog in heat
Tell it's me by the clamor now baby
I like to tear up the street,
And I been smokin for so long,
Ya know im here to stay
Got you in a stranglehold baby
You best get outta the way

Road I cruise is a bitch now baby
But no you cant turn me round
And if a house gets in my way baby
Ya know I'm tearing it down
You ran the night that you left me
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold baby
You gonna cross your face

Apparently Mr. Nugent believes its OK to put a women in a stranglehold and scare them enough to cause them to make the Sign of the Cross.  Sounds like he's one of the "bad guys" he wants dead.
