Although I disagree with your premise about potential danger (a CAR is a potential danger, and crime goes down when carry laws are liberalized), that's a discussion for another time. But let's change things a little. Suppose a landlord's religion is very much against unmarried couples living together.
By forcing the landlord to rent to them anyway (which seems to have been established as precedent) you are forcing someone to violate their religion. Just like requiring a Hindu (I think) to cut his hair, or not wear a turban. Or telling a Jew he can't wear a Yamulke. Or telling a Mormon he must serve alcohol in his restaurant. (Oh yeah, serving alcohol to patrons who must drive home is a potential danger, too.)
I know I sound like I'm contradicting myself in regard to the gun argument, but (in my mind at least
) I'm playing devil's advocate.
And establishing my position as being "Don't contradict the Bill of Rights."
