The government should not discriminate. Private individuals (inclusive of the businesses they own) have a right (even if currently unrecognized) to serve or not serve who they wish for any reason they wish, as long as it's a passive act.

How would like the current laws to apply to your home?

Per this couple, having an FFL obligates the holder (or agent thereof) to prohibit straw purchases. Anything this couple said to indicate that it was a straw purchase (even wife buying for husband) would have put the seller in legal jeopardy, if they completed the sale. Spousel straw purchases are tricky, as a spouse (or any person) can purcase a firearm as a present, so there must be an indication of circumventing a background check, such as, "Hey, we need to put this through on my wife's name, if you know what I mean."

Obviously. Michigan bar and restaurant owners can't refuse service to non smokers but are required by law to ban smoking in their establishments. Seems to me that non smoking bars would have been doing a booming business if there had been a demand for it.

People seem to be doing a real good job of confusing freedom with restriction.
