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 |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
