The Constitution protects the individual from the government's discrimination. It does not force a business owner to allow anyone and everyone into their business. I don't necessarily agree with her stance and by definition it is discrimination, but The Constitution states that we will be protected from religious discrimination by the government, not from another individuals views and the rules they put in place for their business.If shes so stupid she cant tell the difference between a good person and an extremist then maybe she shouldn't sell guns at all. I don't see how discriminating against one religious group is upholding the constitution and representing everything the 2A stands for protecting the freedom of religion.
Simply as an example, The Mormon Church has temples that allow visitors into certain areas. Only those deemed worthy are allowed into other areas, even though the temple is in fact a public place. I have no interest in debating Mormons, but the point is that they are within their rights to do so on their property. It would be completely different if Muslims or any other religious group were not allowed to shoot at Camp Perry matches, because we are then crossing into government discrimination.
Here's a cute story: Once, my son came home from school and had a note for me to sign about some minor trouble he got into. When asking him about what happened, he implied that his 5th Amendment Rights were in play and he did not have to incriminate himself to me. He was reminded that I am not the US government and that those rules protect us from a tyrannical government and do not protect us from our Fathers.
If we all went out and polled strangers on the street it would be appalling how many people agree with a private business barring those carrying guns, but feign disgust over a business that bars Muslims. All this debate proves is that most "Americans" have no clue what their founding documents do and do not protect. They also want you to pass a test before you purchase a gun, but feel as though they have no obligation to pass a test on the content of The Constitution and Bill Of Rights before voting or telling us falsely what the documents actually contain.
