The National Rifle Association has done it.
Again.
Having advertised itself for more than a century
as the nation's foremost defender of the Second
Amendment, the NRA has once again given aid and
comfort to politicians -- all of the "usual
suspects": Carolyn McCarthy, Charles Schumer,
Patrick Leahy, Harry Reid, and that perennial
Judas goat John Dingell -- as well as to pressure
groups like the Brady Campaign, who are determined
to destroy that right, by assisting passage of
a law with the potential to strip hundreds of
thousands of military veterans of their basic
right to own and carry weapons.
This latest slap in the gun owner's face by
the overstuffed suits at the NRA -- the same gang
who eagerly signed off on the Gun Control Act
of 1968, despite its origins in Hitler's Germany
-- establishes the "principle" that
individuals with the slightest of mental health
"problem" (anyone, for instance, who
ever sought professional help for mild depression
or difficulty sleeping) have no inalienable right
to self-defense.

1968 Gun Control Act, be sure to see Gun Control:

For politicians, it's a payoff: precisely the
response they wished for, to the latest series
of what more and more observers now believe (however
reluctantly) are purposely contrived incidents
in which armed criminals feel free to attack crowds
of people they know are unarmed and helpless because
the law -- and some corporate policies -- demand
it.
For the psychiatric profession, it enshrines
their practitioners as powerful arbiters of who
may or may not exercise their individual rights.
For America's gun owners, it's just another
aspect of the long, continuous, cruel hoax perpetrated
by the NRA, which collects millions of dollars
in membership money under the false pretense of
defending rights that they have proven willing
to bargain away on the slightest excuse.
In doing so, they have empowered the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
to commit larger and more frequent atrocities
of the kind we've become so familiar with over
the years. Given past behavior, it would not be
above them to pay informants, including those
psychiatrists, who will attest to anybody's mental
instability, trusting to the increasingly crooked
court system to back the Bureau up.

Don't let the NRA suits put a fancy spin on
it, it's really very straightforward: first, there
was no extra gun law; then there was one -- thanks
to the NRA. The last thing this country needs
is another gun law. It already has 25,000. It
needs to start repealing them. All of them.
There's no way to avoid a simple but apalling
truth: the NRA's crawling into bed with the Brady
Campaign is exactly like the Anti-Defamation
League endorsing the American Nazi Party, unthinkable,
unspeakable, and disgusting. And, given the vital
role that privately owned arms have played historically
and currently in reducing violent crime and deterring
foreign aggression, it is probably treason, as
well.
Weak, submissive behavior of this kind is not
the way for Second Amendment defenders to enter
an era of liberal Democratic political dominance.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
calls upon NRA President John C. Sigler, Executive
Vice President Wayne LaPierre, Executive Director
of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action Chris
W. Cox (and any of the 75-member board of directors
who approves their reprehensible actions) to resign
their positions, forfeiting all pensions or "golden
parachutes". Not for the first time, by helping
to pass yet another infringement of our rights,
these people have brought shame upon themselves,
their organization, on gun owners everywhere,
and especially their country and the Constitution
that is its highest law.
