Liberterians fought against the first affirmative action legislation, saying it violated freedom of association. The market takes effective action against discrimination. To enforce discrimination, the government had to be used in the South.

We should return to freedom of association.

Wonder if this is related to the Oklahoma case where a paper mill’s employees were fired for having a rifle in their locked pickup.

At least it makes a counter to the idea that you can be required to associate with gays . . .

In the corporate arena, decisions are influenced (if not controlled) by the insurance companies, liability lawyers, and the government. It doesn't matter if I as a manger am fine with a subordinate owning guns, if HR says otherwise.

A while back I started a thread about OSHA's covert role in workplace gun control

I am not a big fan of descrimination laws based on behavior, actions or possessions. (Actually, race or religion, too.)

I think owners of businesses should do what they think is best for their business. If they don’t want to hire me because I own a gun, fine. If they don’t want to hire me becasue I am a Christian, fine. Eventually, they will go out of business.
