Thanks, MMI. That's pretty much my point.

why should laws be passed that ignore a substantial proportion (in USA a majority, I believe) of people's beliefs, for example, that Sunday is a holy day?
No one is asking them to ignore their holy days. No one will force them to open their own businesses, or shop in those stores which are open. I would even go so far as to have the government prohibit businesses from punishing those who refuse to work for religious reasons, whether their holy day is Sunday, or Saturday, or Friday.

People's belief that they should be allowed to bear arms is merely a belief, nothing more.
Except that this one has been established in the US Constitution.
