Even IF the Court slaps them.down, the Court will go hard left at some not too distant point, and then...They will continue to pass "creative" legislation to circumvent the supreme Court until one of two things happen
The court slaps them down or
The political leanings of the court shifts. This is what they're counting on.
I predict the next time the political influence of the court shifts you're going to see the second amendment struck down as military and law enforcement only.
Then what?
Praise the LordYes. SB1 did not prohibit church carry. Only the Mo Co bill did
So it sounds like it would take a new version of the civil rights act to guarantee the right to carry in private places of public accommodation.The 2A prevents Govt. Infringement. Private business can do as they please
Yet the CRA forces these private property owners to admit people of a particular race, religion, and ethnicity that the owner did not want in his/her business. How are 2A rights any different?Private property rights are in the constitution too
On private property? That's a little tricky. Sort of like the 1A doesn't guarantee you can spend your day in someone's private business screaming political screeds at the top of your lungs or even just politely but creepily proselytizing someone's customers. There's a difference between "no black people allowed" and "no hoodies that hide your face while you're in my place of business." I'd like to preserve the right to tell people to get out of my private property if I don't like their conduct or bearing, and so I can't very well complain when another person wants the same. Hence the "don't carry here" signs followed up by invoking trespass if someone won't leave, that's not incoherent, philosophically. Forcing me to put up a "you can carry here" sign certainly is.Yet the CRA forces these private property owners to admit people of a particular race, religion, and ethnicity that the owner did not want in his/her business.

Which is what I was trying to say in my initial comment. I said it would take a new version to protect 2A rights. "The Second Amendment Act of 2024" that would require places of public accommodation to allow CCW on their premises, for example.Gun owners are not a protected group as per the civil rights law
But to echo Welder's point, they will not give up.
An incremental infringement is a big deal, but that is just my opinion.
I'd be so against something like this. Private property rights are super important. I'd go so far as to roll back the civil rights act stuff as it applies toWhich is what I was trying to say in my initial comment. I said it would take a new version to protect 2A rights.

Good post.I'd be so against something like this. Private property rights are super important. I'd go so far as to roll back the civil rights act stuff as it applies to
Private property. You have the right to be a dick.
However, specifically making private businesses liable for your safety should they disarm you and something happens... rights balancing can be tricky, but I feel like there might be something here. Although, perhaps it is better to just destigmatize gun ownership. Somehow. Perhaps by being less polite and grayman and hiding like we're doing something wrong.
Remember: the Bill of Rights is designed to prevent THE GOVERNMENT from infringing on your rights. Not to prevent a private property holder from deciding how to use their own property. If you start requiring (for example) retailers to tolerate one particular form of conduct, you're opening the floodgates to them being required to (for example) allow sit-in protests that run off all of their paying customers, all in the name of the 1A. The 1A and the 2A are limitations on the government, not on you if you own property.Which is what I was trying to say in my initial comment. I said it would take a new version to protect 2A rights.

Yeah, it's the way we got to where we are now. It did not happen overnight...I could argue , the biggest deal. A huge infringement pisses a bunch of people off. The incremental one guy by with only a few of us pissed.
