I'm going to need you to go there and read not only the base article but all the links to cases of "hostile public accommodation" that are listed there.
Then I am going to ask you to consider how Heller and MacDonald ought to play out using the same arguments and tactics for the Second Amendment as the "hostile public Accommodation" cases played out for the First Amendment. I think there are parallels so close that the courts might be forced to actually apply the same standards to the gun-owners as they do to folks based on race, creed, national origin, and sexual orientation.
This is no longer "the rights of private property owners" vs. "our right to self defense". It's out and out discrimination against our right and the gobvernment's obligation to prevent that from happening. The government has done all the heavy lifting in the First Amendment cases, and now all we have to do is transfer it from the First to the Second Amendment using the exact same arguments.
Please do the required reading and then see if you can pick apart the thesis presented.
stay safe.
