This whole situation, in my opinion, stems from we are not playing the game they play.

If my baker can be sued for not serving a gay couple, who arguably are exercising their right to free association, or my black friends, because equal protection under the law is the law, then "no guns allowed" is the functional equal of "no gays or no blacks."

We keep arguing about the object, when this is in reality a civil liberties issue.

And the courts have already thrown out "I'm afraid of blacks" or "I don't like gays" as available outs for a company doing business with the public. We should use these cases for the basis of suits regarding the 2A.
