"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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
