They don’t disappear. Constitutional rights are protections from the government, not from private entities. If you want constitutional rights to apply to private persons / entities, then a constitutional amendment is needed.Constitutional rights should not disappear just because I go into a business that is open to the public.
But, be careful what you wish for, because that proposed amendment would apply not just to the 2A or to what you care about, but to everyone, everywhere:
- A doctor is now compelled to provide an abortion (easy example),even if the doctor is fundamentally, morally opposed?
- I can you you and your spouse for not inviting me to your 4th of July bbq in your backyard? Even if I don’t win that case against you, how much of your savings are you going to spend defending yourself?
- 41 year old man gets to sue The parents of a 15-year-old girl for age discrimination when they won’t let the girl date the 41-year-old man?
Respectfully,
