"We are not against guns, we are not anti second amendment." said Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense' co-leader Jodi Scheer.
A blatant lie.
If your goal is the denial of protected firearms pursuant to the Second Amendment as ruled by U.S. v. Miller, then you ARE against the Second Amendment.
Per U.S. v. Miller (1939), so-called "assault weapons" are within the ambit of Second Amendment protection, i.e. arms in common use that have militia utility or are any part of the ordinary military equipment and could contribute to the common defense.
The holding culminates with the dictum,
"It must be interpreted and applied with that end in view." - U.S. v. Miller (1939) |

"background check legislation will help that."
No, no it won't. Criminals will not be filling out a 4473 to purchase a weapon. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
