Blair Gladwin, owner of the California based Gladwin Guns and Ammo, filed three class action lawsuits last week against online payment processors PayPal, Stripe, and Square for singling out him and other firearms businesses.
The payment companies required Gladwin and the other owners to reveal the nature of their dealings — after which the payment companies refused to work with them.
Gladwin claims this type of discrimination is a violation of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act Sections 51, 52(a) and 52(c), a law that protects federally-licensed gun stores from such refusals of business transactions.
The class action lawsuits, according to a press statement, are on behalf of himself and all federal firearms dealers who were barred from starting an account or had an account terminated by a payment processor because of the type of business they ran.

This is going to be interesting.
So for all you Freeping attorneys out there, what does existing case-law look like here? Is PayPal and the others the only companies that do transaction/banking type business that have run afoul of a this statute or are they simply abusing the guidance provided by the Holder Choke Point program?
Not an attorney but I would think payment avenues are public accommodations to interstate commerce. How can such avenues be withheld for political, racial, ethnic or religious holdings?
But...but...but...weapons are ICKY! < /homo >
If Hollywood, the media and progressives (which you are probably not, but sound like at the moment) would stop pushing the perversions in our faces 24-7, deferring to about 1.5% of the population as if they were 40%, we would not be so much inclined to fight back with crude humor.
But when you speak truthfully about them, no joking, you are a hater. TRUTH; it's the new HATE SPEECH.
Of course it is 1A. I actually oppose ALL equal opportunity standards that do not bind only government and its surrogates.
>>I am so exhausted
Defending the abomination of Nature exhausting is it?
Boohoo.
I just don’t think you gain by continually pointing out that someone else’s issue disgusts you. Who cares if it disgusts you? You are entitled to your opinion, but you are preaching “It disgusts me because it’s disgusting.” It’s boring and stupid so quit.
Going to have to write them a letter this morning and explain why I will no longer be using their services.
What does a culture gain when it normalizes the abomination of nature and the accompanying proliferation of due penalty diseases documented by the CDC?
I am note talking about normalizing, I am just talking about give it a rest that you don’t like it. Big deal. Who cares what you like or don’t like? The world is not here to please you. Some like it, some don’t. Some think it is a matter of good and evil, some say that is a personal call.
Not not note. And don’t start spouting your version of scripture either. Just give it a rest. Also no one cares if you like or don’t straight sex, no sex, three ways..if you don’t like it, don’t do it.
>>I am note talking about normalizing,
Or reality.
How’s that progressive Cultural Marxist strategy working for ya?
You are past help.
The result of your kind of tolerant “help” is on exhibition at the closed campus of Evergreen College.
FAIL.
I said nothing about help, I said quit with the boring statements that you don’t like gays. And Evergreen was about race, not gays, hello.
If you get bored then read something else.
>>And Evergreen was about race, not gays, hello.
Look again super snowflake.
>>I said nothing about help,
Liar.
“You are past help.”

Nobody needs your help. This is how it turns out:
