That's a good question. Majority usually rules except when the law they pass is found to be unconstitutional. Otherwise in many parts of the country majority rule would still have blacks sitting at the back of the bus, etc..
Private businesses that cater to the general public can set up their own rules but they cannot usually violate constitutional rights. I guess the constitutional right to own firearms does not mean that they cannot be banned from them.
