"The bad guys are land thieves: cattlemen, railroad companies, lawyers, or the powerful man behind the local government.
Ultimately, the issue is settled by guns – guns in the hands of good guys."

Louie, I have been arguing against companies violating employees property rights to guns, - [guns in the hands of the good guys] for a week now!

And who are the bad guys this time? The guys who used government to violate the property rights of land owners.

The bad guys are companies misusing their property rights in order to violate employee rights.

Your rights were intact, no one violated your rights;

Not true. The employees right to carry arms in their cars was violated by the 'new rules'.

you have the right not to work for a company whose regulations you do not believe in, you have the right to park elsewhere, you have the right to boycott the products made, and you have the right to carry a weapon up to the edge of their property...but that wasn't enough for you, you want the right to dictate how a landowner may use his land.

Use? - He is using his power to violate his employees right to be armed to & from work.

The only rights being violated are the rights of the property owner.

How does it violate a companies 'rights' for employees to park locked vehicles [containing guns] on the lots they provide?

One day, your neighbors will get together and decide that you may not put up a nativity scene in your front yard, and they will do so claiming the same "right" that you now claim. The right to dictate to others what they may or may not do on their property.

I'm not claiming a right to dictate anything. The company is dictating to their employees about their RKBA's.

Jeff Head is a national figure in the fight to safeguard our Second Amendment rights, and he patiently tried explaining to you just how wrong you were, as did many people on this thread, unfortunately, you are the enemy in the fight to safeguard our freedoms...you are that well-intentioned paver of the road to hell.

Many people on this thread are misguided. I am patiently trying to explain why. -- Companies are cynically misusing personal property rights to infringe on their employees 2nd amendment rights.

You've been arguing in favor of violating the property rights of property owners (employers) so that employees do not have to be inconvenienced into making alternative parking arrangements.

You are actually to dense to understand this argument.
