"Utter nonsense. Why would the Second Amendment work differently than the First? My right to free speech is seriously curtailed while I'm at work. I could go to the mall and use abusive language or bad-mouth my company's products. Can't do that at work and remain employed. It's that simple."
True, but your employer cannot require that your vocal cords be cut. The right to bear arms is restricted, you are not allowed to carry on your person while at work. But simply keeping the personal firearm in your vehicle, in a parking lot that is open to the public, is a restriction on your rights, because it prevents the exercise of those rights before and after work. It is no different than if your employer would choose to say that you could not have a bible stored in your vehicle, and I think the courts would react the same way to that.

Great analogy.
