Gun Owners Treated Like Criminals

It shouldn't come as a surprise to law abiding gun-owners that after the June ruling of the Supreme Court upholding our Constitutional right to carrying a gun for self-defense, anti-gunners are coming-up with new and creative ways to limit our freedoms.  I saw several news items recently that have me shaking my head:

• First, the US Postal Service admitted to spying on pro-gun activists.  Seems like the Postal Inspectors should have lots of other things to work on than tracking social media accounts of those they don't agree with politically.  This is real Big Brother stuff though and, unfortunately, I'm sure what has been discovered is just the tip of the iceberg.  
• Several weeks ago Visa, Mastercard and American Express announced the tracking of gun store purchases.  This is concerning not only because it could result in a database of gun owners to be used for confiscation but because it could ultimately affect the income of gun stores and gun manufacturers.  From the article:  "This decision, which is already being hailed by radical anti-gun activists, is the first step towards backdoor gun control on law-abiding Americans," the senators wrote to the CEOs. "Any change that seeks to impact a United States citizen's ability to legally purchase a firearm belongs with Congress, not payment networks, international standard-setting organizations, or the financial institutions that some of you serve."
