Actually the bakeries wouldn't disagree, in fact they'd adamantly agree.

It's corrupt courts that would disagree.

But I guess since the courts should force business to do what they want, we should have courts force businesses to what do what we want. Right?

The 1A is limited in scope; "Congress shall make no law..."

The 2A isn't; "...shall not be infringed."  There is no restriction on who may or may not infringe, the right itself SHALL NOT be infringed.  This is the strongest wording in the Constitution.

But regardless of my take on this issue, you've created a false dichotomy.

Get the precedent set that the 2A is a civil rights issue, then the restoration of our gun rights becomes much easier.

Basing a sale strictly based on age if it's the buyers rights? Age discrimination!

However, ATF gives FFL holders the authority to deny sales of firearms to anyone they want without a reason.

They better state that for a reason or someone may have a case.

Yeah, I kindof agree with this.  The idea of public accommodation is a well established, like it or not. Refusing to sell to someone because of age is dubious as hell.

This is considerably worse that the wedding cake thing, as that wasn't even really a case of a public accommodation.

We were told by ATF many times that gun sales have some special consideration.

An FFL can decline to sell to a buyer for any reason.  If they smell bad, give a bad vibe, wear the wrong brand of shoes, anything.

You can individually choose to not sell to anybody, but you can't do it if it's based on a protected class, which age is.  If you don't want to sell to homeboy because his pants are around his ankles, knock yourself out.  If you don't sell to homeboy because he's black, prepare your anus.  If it's policy to not sell to black people, well, that's not a good idea.

The ATF has, however, been very protective of the rights of FFL's to not sell based on anything, including protected classes...  So I suspect that OP's idea will fail.  But he's not wrong.

The CEO went on nbc after the company released the announcement. They dam well stated it as a reason.

All you have to do, assuming nolo or another lawyer says we have a good case, is not go in there like a raging cop block asshole and not tip our hand until after they deny us. Get it all on video (a 20year old on a 3peice suit being denied a mini30 because of his age would make for fun optics) and go from there

That works right up until you release the video of the store manager saying, "I'm sorry, you seem like a nice guy, but we cannot sell you this hunting rifle because you are not 21".

human beings LOVE to tell their story. Look like one of them, quack like one of them. Even be sympathetic to their cause in word and emption. And they will open up to you.

1)dress very nicely, act like it's your first firearms purchase.

2)pick a fudd gun, something you "want to take hunting". Act like a new gun owner who just wants his self purchased first deer rifle. Ask intelligent, but noob question about the process but don't ask age questions.

3)try to purchase said fudd gun

they will open up to you like clockwork.

I would think that if they offer firearms for sale, and the federal and state law shows that you fall within the legal age to purchase, and they refused based on age, then they are in violation of the civil rights act, which includes, race, sex, and age.

If they deny you for any of those three reasons, them you have a suit.

Best thing we can do is have a black female of 20 years age, to go in for the sting.

There are many reasons they can deny you, even that they don't like your shoes, but those three they cannot.

If they state age is the reason, they're screwed.

I'll say this. I believe that you should be able to choose who you sell to and any reason is fine. Your business will either prosper or it will wither away based on your choices.

Freedom of Association.

Lawsuits like this , and if we're smart, hit every liberal stronghold with demands for service and product that "triggers" them will force them to back away from this as a tactic and work towards freedom of association themselves.

According to the BATFE an FFL holder is under no obligation to transfer and can refuse to transfer for just about any reason.
so.....
State law says you must sell, federal law says you have no duty to transfer.
