Legendary crooner Willie Nelson made a largely unnoticed visit with Piers Morgan and spoke about guns on November 26th, 2012. This was prior to the interviews Morgan conducted with Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America [Part 2] and Alex Jones, exchanges which both went viral and sparked a White House petition to deport Morgan as well as a renewed debate on gun control in the mass media. Since Nelson has appeared regularly on the Alex Jones show after publicly casting doubt on the official government version regarding 9/11, it may be surprising that the nearly 80-year-old Texan agreed with CNN's Morgan that guns "are for military". Nelson has admirably spoken out on several political issues including taxes, drug legalization, corporate control of the food supply, wars, and 9/11. However, on the gun issue, Nelson is way off target. It's beyond ironic that Nelson can realize the government isn't trustworthy on many issues yet he wants that very same government, which he contends was involved in the mass murders of 9/11, to have a monopoly on firepower! In reality, the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to protect our right to bear arms, which is a natural right and defense against tyranny. Guns aren't just for "hunting" and are certainly not only for the military. Asked by Piers Morgan about President Obama and voting, Nelson said "I'm glad he got reelected, he's got a lot of things in his favor, the things that he has ran on. The women all believe in the things that hes talking about. Uh, the blacks, and the hispanics, and the women. And if you got those three things on your side you're gonna win." Morgan then asks "You grew up around guns. What do you make of the gun debate in America?" Nelson replies "Well you know I've hunted all my life and uh when I was young I had a bb gun... I had shotguns and rifles and all those things and I went dear hunting, bear hunting, and I have no problems at all with that. Uh, but ya know I don't know what I would do with a gun that would shoot a hundred times." Morgan adds "I find it just staggering that you could just walk into stores in America, buy high powered assault weapons and on the internet get 6, 7000 rounds of ammuniation. You can blow up a movie theatre if you want to." Nelson then shamefully calls for more gun regulation, opining "I dont- you know I don't agree with that. I think it should be more regulated I think. A lot of guns, there's no need for civlians to own those. Those are for military." In December 2011, Nelson wrote "Occupy the food system" on Huffington Post, complaining about two government behemoths, U.S. Departments of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Justice. His column read in part, "Thanks to the Occupy Wall Street movement, there's a deeper understanding about the power that corporations wield over the great majority of us. It's not just in the financial sector, but in all facets of our lives..." Nelson added "Corporate control of our food system has led to the loss of millions of family farmers, destruction of our soil, pollution of our water and health epidemics of obesity and diabetes. We simply can't afford it. Our food system belongs in the hands of many family farmers, not under the control of a handful of corporations." Wikipedia notes Nelson's trouble with the IRS: "In 1990, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seized most of Nelson's assets, claiming that he owed US$32,000,000. It was later discovered that his accountants, Price Waterhouse, had not been paying Nelson's taxes for years. In addition to the unpaid taxes, Nelson's situation was worsened by the weak investments he had made during the early 1980s.[66] His lawyer, Jay Goldberg, negotiated the sum to be lowered to US$16,000,000. Later, Nelson's attorney renegotiated a settlement with the IRS in which he paid US$6,000,000, although Nelson did not comply with the agreement.[67] Nelson released The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories? as a double album, with all profits destined for the IRS. Many of his assets were auctioned and purchased by friends, who donated or rented his possessions to him for a nominal fee. He sued Price Waterhouse, contending that they put his money in illegal tax shelters.[68] The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount and Nelson cleared his debts by 1993.[66][69]" Nelson is on the advisory board of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and was arrested in November 2010 at an internal border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, TX for possession of marijuana. On February 4, 2008, Nelson spoke out on the Alex Jones show, contending that the Twin Towers Were Imploded On 9/11: "I saw those towers fall and I've seen an implosion in Las Vegas - there's too much similarities between the two, and I saw a building fall that didn't get hit by nothing... How naive are we - what do they think we'll go for? ... I saw one fall and it was just so symmetrical, I said wait a minute I just saw that last week at the casino in Las Vegas and you see these implosions all the time and the next one fell and I said hell there's another one - and they're trying to tell me that an airplane did it and I can't go along with that..." Nelson's remarks were widely reported, including on FOX News. He later discussed the issue on CNN with Larry King. RELATED LINKS:

Asked by Piers Morgan about President Obama and voting, Nelson said "I'm glad he got reelected, he's got a lot of things in his favor, the things that he has ran on..." Which proves right there that Willie Nelson is a moron and his words should be seen in that light. Just because he doesn't know "...what I would do with a gun that would shoot a hundred times" is irrelevant. No one said he had to buy any gun(s) that are beyond his ability to handle. In fact, so far as I know, no one said he had to have any and maybe he shouldn't have any with an attitude like he has. He should just trust the cops and soldiers to look after his old, tired ass. Willie Nelson needs an education about how the Colonists out-shot the Redcoats with rifles that were superior to the Brown Bess muskets fielded by King George's army.

Willie Nelson apparently needs lots of help and help that is beyond any but the best psychiatrist money can buy. Proved that by admitting he was an Obama supporter.

lOL! well said. but remember, the same government he wants to protect him are the ones he contends pulled off 911 . such attitudes are that of either a psycho, a retard, or senility. by the way i have a family member who's a nurse and i recently used the word retard when referreing to some idiot, and she took offense at that word because apparently it is not politically correct to use the word retard to describe a retard. apparently its called 'developmentally disabled' now. I thought that was funny that she took offense to it, and tild her so. yikes. i am shocked that even my own family fall for some of this stuff.

I think he would have supported Ron Paul - besides, it's real hard to blame someone that still believes in voting in FEDERAL ELECTIONS when they vote for one of the two (non) "choices" they're given.

We should all be livid. Stop acting like docile, mentally castrated pussies and grow a pair. It's time to get in their face. Why should we speak in hushed tones and act all polite when we are being metaphorically raped every day?

It could well be senility at his age. And it could also be a sign of insanity. If you can entertain two concepts, each at 180 degrees variance with the other, and consider them equally valid, that is a sure sign of insanity. lOL! well said. but remember, the same government he wants to protect him are the ones he contends pulled off 911 . such attitudes are that of either a psycho, a retard, or senility.

Anyone who is addled enough to vote for Obama for a second term should be put in a home somewhere where they can be looked after and have their meds adjusted regularly.

well to be specific, willie didnt say he voted for obama. he didnt vote. but, he did say that he was glad obama was relected, which is essentially the same thing.

Yep. As far as I'm concerned that makes him an Obama supporter. And support for Obama is support for tyranny. well to be specific, willie didnt say he voted for obama. he didnt vote. but, he did say that he was glad obama was relected, which is essentially the same thing.

AJ has the ObamaPhone Lady (from Ohio) down here in studio today. I haven't heard all the show, but I believe that he flew her and her hubby down to Austin.

i dont know what all this so-called obama phone stuff is about but actually, shoonra of all people posted legitimate links to the fact that bush junior gave people the exact same phones for years and is the one who established the phone program. i confirmed it and should repost, because even those in the know fall for this meme which is nothing more than falling for the left-right paradigm, as if obama is the one who started this when it was really the republican hero who started it.

You are correct - everything that the chimp began, the chimp II has radically expanded from wars/murders to cell phones.

Yeah, I never knowingly bear false witness against anyone, even the Kenyan. There is more than enough truth to tell about the useless ef without resorting to that. i dont know what all this so-called obama phone stuff is about but actually, shoonra of all people posted legitimate links to the fact that bush junior gave people the exact same phones for years and is the one who established the phone program. i confirmed it and should repost, because even those in the know fall for this meme which is nothing more than falling for the left-right paradigm, as if obama is the one who started this when it was really the republican hero who started it.

He lives in a different world than the commoner... I think he forgets how different money makes his life.... He is out of touch. If he can speak out against 911 and on the same token speak out against gun ownership... well that is double think. What is a 100 mag clip for? It is for shotting the bastards that did 911 that wont come to justice peacefully. i didnt realize willie was as old as he was. He deserves credit for speaking out about 911, but this- liking obama and banning guns- he deserves to be shamed for both.

This is just ridiculous. These guns cannot shoot a hundred times since they do not make magazines that holds a hundred rounds. It is all a fiction of the anti- gunners. Uh, but ya know I don't know what I would do with a gun that would shoot a hundred times."

AK-47s hold drum mags that hold a hundred rounds but don't seem to be used much in these mass murder situations, at least not in the US. And you can get a 75-round drum mag for SKS rifles (www.budsgunshop.com/catal...KS+75+Round+Drum+Magazine ).

Ak-47s are not the weapon of choice for any bad guys. Same is true of SKS's. I had a cop in Chicago ask me if I knew what a MAC-11 was. I told him, "Yeah, I know. It's a piece of shit." AK-47s hold drum mags that hold a hundred rounds
