--- 'Even if everyone in the community desires -- [that employees be disarmed while going to or from work] -- they have no right individually or collectively to force them to do it. --'
"-- They cannot delegate a power they themselves do not have. --"
Thus we see:
--- 'Even if everyone in the community desires -- [that land owners allow armed people on their property] -- they have no right individually or collectively to force them to do it. --'
OR --- 'Even if everyone in the community desires -- [that employers hire someone who will not comply with their rules at their business] -- they have no right individually or collectively to force them to do it. --'
"-- They cannot delegate a power they themselves do not have. --"
Fairly simple constitutional principle, but a lot of FReepers seem to have a very tough time understanding it...
And some have a hard time realizing it applies to ALL constitutional freedoms, not just RKBA.
"-- They cannot delegate a power they themselves do not have. --"
--- 'Even if everyone in the community desires -- [that land owners allow armed people on their property] -- they have no right individually or collectively to force them to do it. --'
No one in our constitutional community wants to force land owners to allow 'armed people' on their property.
-- We want our right to carry arms in our vehicles to be respected by landowning employers/shopkeepers who we do business & work with.
And a court decision upholding that right is not a "decree".
'Even if everyone in the community desires -- [that employers hire someone who will not comply with their rules at their business] -- they have no right individually or collectively to force them to do it. --'
If they had the right individually or collectively that would make a business owner a second class citizen that's not as equal as the home owner that can refuse armed persons entry to their property. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Next thing you know they won't allow the second class business owners to permit smoking on their property while the more equal homeowner can do that. Opps, they're already doing that. And now they're moving on to banning transfats in restaurants. To politicians, bureaucrats and some people on this forum, business owners are second class, or less equal citizens.
