However, we return to the issue of rights. HOAs used to be able to discriminate on race, religion, ethnicity. Now they can't and that is a good thing.

Many feel that self-defense is an intrinsic property of folks that cannot be used as a basis to discriminate. While it is not now a protected class, so to speak - the same concept should apply.

Esp. if this is housing has a governmental supervision - then such rights should not be constrained.
