Ahh, don't you love it when the government decides to pass laws restricting people's ability to control what happens on their own property?

When the gov't protects and reinforces the Right of individuals to defend themselves, and their Right to not have their cars searched, absolutely, YES.

The primary purpose of gov't is to protect our individual Rights.

I don't give a rat's behind about corporations (they weren't even around at the time of our founding).

Look up the history of the East India Company sometime.

Actually they were, and were instrumental in the earliest English and Dutch settlements in North America. Many of the colonial expeditions were corporate or corporate sponsered. Others were sponsered by the crown.

That said, corporations are creations of government, they are not people, other than to the limited extent provided by law.
