BTW, in response to a different comment, smoking is not protected by the US Constitution. The right to bear arms is...

You are right. They aren't excluding us because of our beliefs. They are obstructing us of our rights. It is our right to bear arms as much as it is to practice our religious beliefs.
I don't recall the Constitution stating "each man has the right to believe in bearing arms and they may do so in public venues, they may also support the second amendment and enjoy their guns at home". It pretty clearly states we have a right to bear those arms.
IMO both examples would be excluding a person for abiding by their rights. Many liberals swear by our rights as long as they fit their agenda.
If you respect that then so be it. The way things look with this nation, you are in the majority....Congrats!
Well smoking may not specifically be listed in the Constitution they are still a legal product so I believe it to fall under the First Amendment for Freedom of Expression.... That is why I don't support smoking bans...
We have to accept the fact that the Constitution goes both ways here or we are no better then the anti-gun/anti-carry crowd....
My dad use to be a trustee at a Eagles lodge and they have a no weapons allowed policy and one time told a guy not to bring his holster in even though he left his gun in his truck... Why you may ask.... Because he was drinking beer while he had a gun and my dad felt that was setting a bad example for those of us who carry.... My dad is huge supporter of the 2nd Amendment but he didn't like them/nor want them in the bar and everyone supported the choice of the lodge to run their business and never complained.
So guys, people have the right to be anti-gun/anti-carry just as we have the right be pro-gun/pro-carry... That is how the Constitution works....
