An Alabama man with an assault weapon burned down his mother's house around her, shot his grandparents, aunt and uncle dead, then killed five other people Tuesday before turning the gun on himself, authorities said.

Coffee County coroner Robert Preachers identified the shooter as Michael McLendon and said he was in his 30s...

Authorities gave no motive for the rampage that claimed victims in several homes in the small towns of Kinston, Samson and Geneva and along the highway connecting them. Two of the dead were a sheriff deputy's wife and 3-month-old child... .

But according to redneck fools in this nation of idiots, the shooter had a 2nd Amendment right to an assault rifle--irregardless of his stability or lack thereof and irregardless of the fact that assault rifles are military weapons designed to kill as many humans as possible as quickly as possible.

Should Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress seek to reinstitute a ban on the sale of assault rifles, the hue and cry from "sportsmen" in Coffee County, Alabama, and a thousand other flyspecked sparrow fart locales will be overwhelming.

They will want Obama impeached or worse. They and lobbyists for the National Rifle Association will vow to destroy the career of every lawmaker supporting the assault rifle ban.

Assault rifles should not be in the hands of civilians. 

Period. 

Those presently held by civilians should be confiscated at once.

Oh, yes--it CAN be done.

Southerners said they would never again show fealty to the United States of America, but they did.

Segregationists said they would never accept blacks into their midst, but they have.

State and federal powers of coercion are tremendous. 

The old boys can be brought around.
