This is going to be controversial (although it's true), but property owners gave up their rights when the federal Civil Rights legislation was passed. Since then they have been compelled to do all sorts of things that they might not have otherwise done. And since government is so clearly anti-gun, in this one area of life they "honor" property owners' rights.

For example, own a small store in a small community? Too bad. You MUST have handicapped spaces. It's the law. The law doesn't care if you can afford it. It's the law. The reason Christian bakers must serve gay people is because private businesses must serve African Americans. It's the law. Your rights aren't relevant.

Is it the right thing to do to serve African Americans and to accommodate handicapped people? Of course. Unquestionably. But forcing property owners to do so by passing laws has consequences far beyond what shortsighted politicians perceive. So property rights gave way to "civil rights" and now the First and Second Amendments are less meaningful because the rights of classes of people have been made supreme over the rights of the individual. The 2nd Amendment is an individual right, so it naturally suffers when made to compete with the rights of classes of people.
