And you keep on posting your utterly incoherent and misquoted exploitation of his words, in the service of an agenda that was abhorrent, absolutely abhorrent, to him.

Some people simply have no shame, do they?

You sure as hell don't.

The desire to "maltreat" others; in this case, by denying people their livelihood.

The only standard prohibited ground of discrimination that comes anywhere close to your ludicrous assertion that discriminating againt handgun carriers is "bigotry" is religion. People arguably choose, and can change, their religion. The fact, though, is that religion is usually tied up with culture, and thus with ethnicity and/or race and/or nationality, and that little choice is usually involved as people absorb their religion from birth.

The feeling is that people should not have to renounce or change their religion in order to obtain employment or accommodation or services. It's a fairly reasonable feeling.

Does declining to employ people who carry concealed firearms deny anybody their livelihood?

Nope. All they have to do is stop doing it. Carrying a gun really is not a belief system. It's just a behaviour, like picking your nose. Just stop doing it, and be embraced back into the fold of civilized society.


I suggest you read Kates & Kleck's "The Great American Gun Debate," lots more examples of "noted" people scrawling on the figurative bathroom wall.

Oh, c'mon, quote us a couple. If they include the usual typos / misspellings / omissions, we can probably trace them back to your source.
