So you think companies should be able to fire people for being too old, or the wrong color, or for not putting out?
I understand that some folks will answer "yes", on the basic principle of Freedom of association, and this doesn't mean that they condone the behavior.
However, there are laws preventing companies from firing folks for a host of reasons. Repealling these laws will be next to impossible, as well as a waste of time. So as gunowners, we should jump on the bandwagon instead of being a "chump" and letting companies trample on us.
I have to come down on the side of the employers here, even if I disagree with their policy
If this was Pete's Hardware Store, and "Pete" was the owner, then maybe I would agree. Pete is an individual and has the Right to hire and fire whomever he pleases in his private store. But in this case, it's a corporation. A corporation is NOT an individual, and does NOT have the same Rights as individuals have.
The Bill of Rights protects you against the government, not other private citizens, including businesses.
Yeah, but we have many more Rights than just the ones enumerated in the Bill of Rights.
Constitutionally, yes. Laws have been passed which greatly restrict employers' rights in this regard. Employers must observe those or face the consequences.
Don't get me wrong. I violate my company's policy every day. But if they fire me, I won't complain.
