And we have a linkbait title of year winner. Now ... if the Congress has decided that some citizens should not have firearms (felons,people with mental health issues) and that is in compliance with the second amendment then a law that only enables better enforcement of said decision is not eroding said amendment. CISPA - the cloud should be codified as an extension of one's home. With all the protections that come from it - if the landlord could not voluntarily open the door of a tenant's apartment without court order for a policeman then google should not be able to give my emails to US without one too.

"then a law that only enables better enforcement of said decision is not eroding said amendment" That's a debatable point, as long as you're willing to consider the prior restraint issue, but the amendments considered yesterday that had a chance of passing* went a lot further than that modest goal, with provisions that were unacceptable to gun owners (details on request). * That weasel wording because I don't know why Democrats, and only Democrats plus the two independents who caucus with them, voted against Grassley-Cruz-Graham (http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00098 http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_c...). Well, they do have the excuse that it dropped that day and no one had time to see what it really said, but that doesn't seem to be a modern hinderance to voting on laws.
