  A Feb. 8 Facebook post on the verified account for Michigan rocker and National Rifle Association Board of Directors member Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent's Facebook post features Israeli flags on a collage of the faces of 12 prominent Jewish Americans, and asks, "So who is really behind gun control?"Thousands shared Nugent's Feb. 8 post that calls those pictured, former U.S. Senator Carl Levin among them, "punks" and says "they hate freedom." In another post, Nugent described Jews killed by the Nazi regime as "soulless sheep to slaughter." The controversial messages have drawn national news coverage and criticism of Wango Tango Nugent, an outspoken gun-right's supporter, hunter, and Michigander.
