I think that yes, banning firearms in certain privately owned spaces should be forbidden by law. We shouldn't be, IMO, be broadly outsourcing permissions to exercise rights to corporations, and allowing private companies to determine whether or not we have rights. We've already ceded too much power to corporations and private interests, and it's time to take it back.

What about their rights?

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't believe that corporations should have rights in the first place.

I'm less worried about corporate rights and more worried about employee rights.
