It may violate 2nd amendment rights

How so? You have a right to free speech. That doesn't require a publisher to print your book. Your 2nd ammendment right does not require anyone to sell you a gun.

It “may” violate 2nd amendment rights. There are many methods of discrimination which are acceptable against
selling a person a firearm, mental capacity, felony record,intent to commit felony,
and so on.

The question is does a political belief warrant discrimination against a citizens exercise of 2nd amendment rights? I do not believe there is case law on that point.Remember that if a firearms dealer happens to be a leftist, under this logic he can refuse to sell to a copnservative and so on.

Clearly race cannot be used as an excuse not to sell a firearm to a person, that would be a violation of a citizens 2nd amendment rights in todays America.

It is my considered opinion that this could easily become a controverted issue under the 2nd amendment.

BTW, I approve of this dealer refusing to sell arms to people who supported Obama. I would love to see MacDonalds refuse to serve them too.
