"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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
