Moms Demand Action’s Shannon Watts claims Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) opposition to universal background checks is equivalent to opposing laws to stop the murder of small children.

She makes this point based on Cruz’s opposition to expanding background check following the Sandy Hook attack. She does not note that the gunman in that attack stole his firearms and would therefore be unencumbered by any point-of-sale background check requirements.

Watts also presents her contention without mentioning that the more recent Texas church shooter passed background check to acquire his rifle. His passage of that check provided yet another proof of the impotency of the left’s go-to gun control solution.

She tweeted:

It is a fact that the vast majority of mass public attackers acquire their guns via point-of-sale background checks, and this truth pours cold water all over Watts’ arguments. Consider the following, which is only a partial list of attackers who got their guns via background checks:

After looking at that list an argument could be made that background checks do not do as much to protect the lives of small children as Watts pretends they do.
