In March 2018 , Nugent criticized the survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting who became gun control activists , calling them " mushy brained children " and stating that " the evidence is irrefutable : They have no soul . " Nugent , an opponent of animal rights , said in a long interview , " I 'm stymied to come up with anything funnier than people who think animals have rights . Just stick an arrow through their lungs . " In 2000 , Bhaskar Sinha was jailed briefly following an incident outside a department store in San Francisco in which he threatened and physically assaulted Nugent , who in turn took Sinha into custody until San Francisco Police arrived and arrested the protester . However , protesters claim that Nugent started the altercation by spitting in the face of one of the protester when offered an anti-fur flyer . A San Francisco police officer who said he was on the scene , stated he did n't believe Nugent spat on anyone
