Sorry, but people's feelings don't dictate what the Constitution says on the matter. We have a right to keep and bear arms, and anything you need government permission (like a background check) for is not a right, but a privilege. It's not the "Bill of Privileges (void where prohibited by law)."
"Assault weapons" as you call them are the exact kind of weapon that are meant to be protected by the Second Amendment. Calling them "weapons of war" only underscores this; the whole point of the 2nd was to protect weapons of war, an idea that was upheld in US vs. Miller (where the court incorrectly concluded that short-barreled shotguns had no military purpose, and were therefore not protected under the Second Amendment). |

TO REMEMBER |
| Resistance to sudden violence, for the preservation not only of my person, my limbs, and life, but of my property, is an indisputable right of nature which I have never surrendered to the public by the compact of society, and which perhaps, I could not surrender if I would. — JOHN ADAMS |
