The dealer refused for reasons other than a protected status therefore very likely to be upheld as within the dealers rights.There are already laws to prohibit firearm sales to prohibited persons (felons).
If they aren’t felons, sell the gun.
As for the cake…it’s a cake. Who cares.
And the dealer didn't refuse to sell a firearm, he refused to transfer an inbound gun.
He was purely providing a service not a good.
Mr BLM exhibited behavior that would lead a prudent person of average intelligence trained per ATF material that the person was likely to engage in illegal or negligent actions if the gun was transferred.
Cake on the shelf is different than a custom cake.
And a gun is a totally different animal than a cake but the shop owner still retains their right to not actively participate in something that is against their deeply held beliefs.
