"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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
