They’re not ignoring state law. They’re simply deciding who they’ll do business with and on what terms. That’s perfectly legal, if a bit silly in this context.

They can't do that. No more than a business that sells alcohol could say you have to be 25 or whatever BS they want to make up. Federal law is 18 to buy a long gun. As soon as these companies refuse to sell to a 20 year old they are committing age discrimination. They are violating the civil rights of the purchaser.

In the nineteen States that have nondiscrimination laws it's not at all legal because it's age discrimination. Hopefully there will be suits brought against these companies in those States.
Sure, the most probable result will be for the companies to just not sell guns to anyone in those States but then at least their real intentions a perfectly clear and whatever business they were getting from their gun departments will be completely gone.

Tell that to the bakery that was forced to pay a fine for deciding not to do business with a gay couple

Either "anti-discrimination" laws are applied equally, or they're unconstitutional.
