Someone might want to trail along and tell Southerners about Romney's permanent "assault" weapons ban.

Romney signs off on permanent assault weapons ban

"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts," Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1..."These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

Hey, Mitt! That's exactly what the Founding Fathers said about the purpose of weapons in coming up with the Second Amendment: they were to keep the government in fear of the citizenry. They said that the reason why there was despotism in Europe was because the despots didn't have to face an armed citizenry.

Hey, Mitt! I want a choice, not an echo. And you're a big, BIG echo of the Left. Fade away, baby. Just fade away.

How's that going to play in Louisiana, where the unofficial state motto is "Some folks just need killin'"?

Deadly assault weapons ... are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

Apart from the Constitutional calumny of that statement it also reveals an astounding ignorance of firearms and potential self-defense needs. Mutt is one dim bulb.
