The contrarian in me loves the trolling and is looking forward to the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth from the same folks who cheered the cake case.
I concur.
The fact that the case is being filed against such large companies is further entertainment. I can't wait for the lawyers to roll out the Walmart forced out small business in my hometown and I don't have a choice on where to shop argument.

The far left is completely intolerant which requires a LOT of discrimination
They tend to discriminate based on philosophy/viewpoint/beliefs, which is far more scary to me than physical discrimination.

False. What was needed in the civil rights era were the repeal of laws that mandated certain kinds of discrimination /segregation. Not laws that forces integration/service.
I can get into agreement with you on that. Establishing classes such as they did was certainly a shortsighted development.

That isn't even close to the same level of discrimination. If this kid is able to Sue and win over not getting a gun from Dick's, can a 19 year old sue enterprise for not getting a car even though the legal driving age is 16?
You don't have a right to a car. Modern interpretations of 14th amendment liberty do read a right to freedom of travel, but there is no mandate on method of travel.

He is trying to make someone rent him their real and personal property. When you are renting things you can make all kinds of rules that disqualify people from renting.
He is all apples and oranges here.

I guess then I am ignorant of the law that states age cannot be a discriminating factor.

So that allows for discriminating against all others? That is not equal under the law. How does the USSC justify inequality.
And thanks for the info

I just want all things fair under law.

They have various levels of scrutiny to apply to laws that discriminate, depending on what class of people is being discriminated against. Strict scrutiny for protected classes (race, gender, religion), an intermediate one that encompasses whatever the justices feel like including depending on whether the case is sympathetic to them (cynically, the actual term for this one is escaping me atm), and rational basis for everyone else.
Each of the three come with a slightly higher hurdle for the law to pass in order to be constitutional/non discriminatory.
There is also disfavor towards “arbitrary and capricious” laws, which isn’t directly related to any of the above, but could be used to attack a law that enacts a pointless or perhaps unintended discriminatory effect.

So basically you want the right to hold to their principles why the left is free to lie, cheat, and steal.
Im a pragmatist. I think its well worth using these methods to show the fallacy of leftists politics. Im committed to real life results, not holding to principles while I get run over.

Do you think you can sue bars that don’t let 18-20 year olds in?
Drinking in bars and buying cigarettes is not a right enshrined via a constitutional amendment. The right to bear arms is. Refusing to sell a firearm to a legal adult between the ages of 18 and 20 denies them of their ability to excercise that right.

The secondment amendment doesn’t apply to private entities though.

Good. Companies should be able to refuse goods or service to whomever they choose.

What? Dude... No. The 2A doesn't grant everyone the right to buy a gun from whomever they want. It just says the fed can't infringe on your ability to keep or bear.
This is wal mart. Not the FBI.
Had the fed told wal mart they can't sell to 20 YOs, then you'd be right. That happens every day, BTW.

The right to bear arms free from government infringement? Absolutely.

Negative, ghost rider. The Constitution only protects you from the government. (Unless you are black, a woman, handicapped or gay

Had the cake lawsuit been unsuccessful then this would be a very different thread. People like yourself were celebrating the gay cake ruling without asking yourselves if this would bite you in the arse down the road.
Guess what? We are down the road.

This.
If a buyer has a right to buy something, wouldnt that imply the other party has an equal duty to sell? That would make the case law real interesting. If thats the case the state could start making all sorts of businesses start selling guns they have no desire to.
