It's a slow bleed, Hey if Compromising all the time is okay with you, drive on. Please any "Veterans" read on.
As a Veteran who has fought in the Armed Forces this represents a slap in the face.
Can you really say the founders of this Country wanted such a huge centralized power?

Veteran’s group’s oppose H.R. 2640

The American Legion and the Military Order of the Purple Heart have joined National Association for Gun Rights, Gun Owners of America and dozens and dozens of state and local gun rights groups in opposition to Rep. Carolyn McCarthy and Sen. Patrick Leahy’s massive expansion of the Brady Registration Act, H.R. 2640.

Opposition to H.R. 2640 continues to grow, thanks exclusively to the grassroots activism of gun owners -- like you and me-- across the country. All of the establishment, and notably the institutional gun lobby – that’s the NRA and their Gucci-loafered lobbyists – are supporting H.R. 2640, the McCarthy/Leahy Gun Control Bill.

The NRA continues to make excuses; using legislative and legal doublespeak to mislead their members about this bill.

Make no mistake; H.R. 2640 is a massive expansion of the unconstitutional Brady Registration Act. This gun control legislation gives unprecedented new powers to the federal government’s NICS system to open up supposedly private mental health records to government scrutiny. This bill aims to criminalize our nation’s combat veterans and anyone who’s sought help for depression or other mental concerns normally associated with combat. They are working hard to give the Federal Government – and their uncontrollable beast, the BATFE-- the tools they need to persecute and prosecute gun owners.

Welcome to the future, keep compromising and we'll all be talking about the good old days of firearm ownership.
Look at the DV law. Retroactive law? Who would have thunk it. Misdemeanor conviction and no gun.

Enjoy the slippery slope.
