Gun ownership would be tossed in with a litany of other factors going into rental applications or home purchases. Gun ownership could be added to the list of reasons one could not be denied a rental along with race, religion, etc. But even though people are not supposed to discriminate on the current list, its hard to argue. If someone wants to rent a specific property enough, maybe they need to get rid of their uzi... I don't know call me crazy.
I'm racking my brain to think of other examples of 'cost on a constitutional right'...
It's always the counter-argument to demands for voter ID laws, that you're putting a cost on a constitutional right and thus unfairly impacting the poor. Hypocrisy is so common place it's basically the norm.
