True that ....At every opportunity, the government seeks to extend its power and reach into our lives. All it needs is an excuse to act. All it needs is for one person to cry out to the government for help.
Because legislation is the easy answer to problems that aren't easily solved.Inebriated, to be clear I not disagreeing with you, I am trying to vet the concept through discussion. Let me ask this: if market forces were effective in bringing about effective solutions, why do we even have such acts that were brought about following court cases over the refusal to change?

Absolutely. Just as we're talking about reversing the NFA and GCA when we speak about personal freedoms. There are tons of laws that have no business being on the books, no matter how well-intentioned.
A very good friend of mine, essentially a sister to me, has a spinal cord injury, and she has for years. I'm intimately familiar with the daily issues involved in using a wheelchair. The ADA is great in its intentions, but being legal and being useful are different things. A ramp is no good when it's too steep to get up independently, or when your showroom is too cluttered to get around in the chair, or when the bathroom isn't on the accessible level. It is exactly the same issue as gun control. Yeah, it sounds good on paper, but education will go miles further than legislation. If people who own businesses don't make accommodations, fine. Inform them, and they either will or they won't change. If they do, great. If they don't, then it's up to those affected to inform others how the business is acting. Would you support a business that actively refused service to a person with a disability? I would not, and have not. Just like I will not support business that refuse CCW (another thing that I support the right of a business to refuse, but will not support that business). I would bet money that that .5% of wheelchair users could inform friends and family, and become 5%, 10%, or more.
It all comes down to the free market, and what the consumer will tolerate. And at the end of the day, when a business is fully within their rights and refuses to change, or your movement never gathered the steam to get them to change..... That's a risk you incur when you choose to live in a free society.

Excellent posts, you guys are thought provoking and logical. Thank you.Because legislation is the easy answer to problems that aren't easily solved.
HOORAH!!! Love her outlook and her platform. I need to donate money to her.
Probably none that matched whatever her stereotypical vision of what a Muslim is. Probably a few that she had no clue of because they didn't match that same stereotypical vision.She has milked plenty of free publicity from her posting. I wonder how many Muslim customers she actually had to Begin with.

Hum, some of them might want to, seems they endorse Anal Jihad also,I have read every post of this thread and have arrived at my own personal conclusion.
The Islamic religion can kiss my ass.That's really about it. I agree with the majority of what others said as far as the range owners right to discriminate against whomever she chooses on her own property.
When I saw the dangerous watch list for terrorists at the airport most of those guys in the photos were clean shaven white males. You would never think that they were terrorists. I was quite surprised....and beards...
Never know when one of them wants to guarantee paradise for themselves and their families.Regardless of how a Muslim dresses they are all capable of SJS or "sudden jihad syndrome." For that reason every one of them must be watched.
