| Ironic that a guy from "Freedomnomics" advocates government restrictions. If he really believed in the free market, as I would wager he does, then he would recognize that this is a private establishment. Just like they reserve the right to exclude people wearing funny hats or gang colors, they can refuse people with sidearms. If people don't like that aspect, then they are free to shop elsewhere. The market will dictate which policy is more efficient.
Then again, I don't believe in any of that. Private establishments (probably in Dodge City) over 100 years ago used to have people turn in their sidearms before they came in, and I'm not sure we should take away the ability of businesses to choose.
But if the public wants to pressure what is ostensibly a public private venue, then that's fine by me. |
