While FFls and range operators have a great deal of latitude in their business dealings, it is doubtful that a blanket ban based upon religion is remotely viable on First Amendment grounds.

The First Amendment only applies to government -- meaning that the government cannot infringe on our God-given right to free speech and freedom of religion.

Nobody has free speech, or freedom of religion, on somebody else's private property.

To argue otherwise is a typical tactic of totalitarian leftists, and is a big reason why all our Constitutionally protected rights are today under siege.

The left actually turns this upside down, just like they do with all other powers of gov’t.

The First Amendment, as you say, is to prevent gov’t imposition on religion.

However, the left turns this upside down, using gov’t to prevent individuals from “discriminating” based on religion, while they inherently do so in favor of non-Judeo-Christian religions.
