'Obama-hating' supremacist charged with illegal possession of AK-47

Washington, May 31 (ANI): An alleged white supremacist, who ranted about shooting President Barack Obama for removing him from office, has been charged with illegally obtaining an AK-47 assault rifle.

Douglas Howard Story, 48, expressed hatred and support for the violence towards a number of political figures, and may face up to 10 years in jail if convicted.

According to Sky News, the FBI took notice of Story after he posted on an 'Aryan Nation' website that he was preparing to buy an AK-47 and have it modified to become fully automatic.

He is alleged to have made numerous statements on various white supremacy online forums using the screen name 'Confederate Brother' in which he continually rants about his hatred of minorities.

He also expressed a desire to see President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder being removed from office with a '30.06', the most common type of rifle cartridge used by the US military for decades.

"We got to get the boy out of the White House any means possible - election, assassination, it doesn't matter which. If he does end up being re-elected for another, actually being installed for another four years, I'm quite confident that someone will assassinate him," Story said.

Members of FBI's Washington Field Office's Joint Terrorism Task Force then arrested him after allegedly receiving the modified weapon from an undercover agent.uthorities in the US have reported a dramatic rise in the number of anti-government militia groups since Obama took office. The Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC) says they have increased from 150 to more than 1,200 in number in the last three years. (ANI)
