Ted Nugent has just released a pro-gun rallying cry called “Come and Take It.” The track is Nugent’s first single from the upcoming album Detroit Muscle.

The conservative rocker’s support for gun rights has been front-and-center in Nugent’s persona for many years, giving him a strong following with the 2A crowd while garnering criticism from gun control and anti-gun activists. Regardless of whatever political polarization exists, Nugent’s status as a guitar master is essentially undisputed, and Ted lets his axe wail in “Come and Take It.”

“Being the all-time gonzo progenitor of love songs that I am, it is only fitting that I unleash the All-American defiant battle hymn from we the people to punks who dare tread on us,” Nugent says. “Do you feel the love! Come and take it at your own risk.”

As for his Detroit Muscle album, Nugent adds, “The mighty Motor City is forever globally known as the epicenter of the ultimate high energy soul-music firestorm, and everybody desperately needs a sucker punch of Detroit Muscle now more than ever. Relax, it's good for you.”
