Like the average American that I hang out with, and like my father before me, I raised all my children to respect tools and use them wisely and safely.

The government is so out of control. It is so bloated and infested with fraud and deceit and corruption and abuse of power.

I don't like repeat offenders; I like dead offenders.

I'm not in the leftist controlled Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of my political views, primarily my lifelong militant support of the NRA, the Second Amendment, and my belief that the only good bad guy is a dead bad guy.

Mankind: A quality of life upgrade is available to each and every one of you. It should give you a quality of life upgrade, which means no drugs, no alcohol, no fast food - unless, of course, it's a mallard.

My idea of fast food is a mallard.

I don't pay to have my dirty work done for me. I do it myself.

I think you should ride the line between fatigue and chaos. The chaos keeps the energy level and spontaneity maximized, while fatigue is just over the edge, and you should try to avoid it.

I hump the wild to take it all in, there is no bag limit on happiness.

Fortunately, as it pertains to guns, my dad and uncle introduced me to guns the way it needs to be done: smart, slow and safe.

Hopping the fence or wading the Rio Grande River isn't part of America's immigration process.

I have busted more hippies' noses than all the narcs in the free world.

Mr. Janet Reno? I think Mr. Janet Reno... I think he's one of the best hunting dogs in the world.

The war is coming to the streets of America and if you are not keeping and bearing and practicing with your arms then you will be helpless and you will be the victim of evil.

Do you want to feel good, or do you want to do good?

I'm so much fun. Every kid wishes I was their grandpa! I'm the Motor City Madgramps.

Every hateful statement ever made about me is a dirty lie.

For the Nugent family, fast food is a running herbivore.

Like all other law-abiding Americans, I fully support legal immigration.

I still tour like a man possessed, because I am.

I clearly understood the concept of wise use before I ever heard the actual words, for my father wouldn't allow us to waste anything.

While I now own more guns than the 82nd Airborne, my first gun is still the most important gun I've ever owned.

Liberalism is assisting quality of life, whatever you may choose.

War is good when good survives and evil is crushed. If you don't crush evil then evil will get you.

If America is a nation of laws as we proclaim, then our immigration laws are part of the package.

I don't wanna be a rock star. I don't believe in rock stars. If you really examine what goes with being a rock star, I've avoided that really well.

Only criminals and bloodsuckers reward bad behavior.

The good news is that real-world hands-on conservation is alive and well and catching on across the America I travel.

I really have the American dream licked.

Americans have the right to choose to be unarmed and helpless. Be my guest.

If there is one thing I am, it's always right.

I'm the gun guy, a loud guitar Dirty Harry with a ponytail.

Without question Gibson guitars are the finest, most revered guitars on the planet.

Where you have the most armed citizens in America, you have the lowest violent crime rate. Where you have the worst gun control, you have the highest crime rate.

There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period.

It was psychobabbler Abraham Maslow who wrote of the phenomena of self-actualization. What Maslow failed to grasp is that reaching true self-actualization can only be ultimately achieved when you have your own brand of ammunition.

If the road is easy, you're likely going the wrong way.

People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.

Sometimes, making the wrong choice is better than making no choice. You have the courage to go forward, that is rare. A person who stands at the fork, unable to pick, will never get anywhere.

I am who I am; no more, no less.

Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love.
