That is apples/oranges.
Does not matter, the person still has their rights and a company can fire and hire who they want and do not have to give any reason for their actions. Do you feel you must have some stated cause when letting an employee go or do you simply tell them that they are terminated?

This will settle out of court.

But, a jury would be asked to follow the law in that state.

VERY hard to prove, the company can give a long list of reasons that would wash if brought to court, it won't be, and in many States no reason is required. The guy has no legal leg to stand on, gun ownership is a right, employment is not, and is not covered un anti-discrimination laws.

Lucky you, I have had to let go many people during my career and it is never fun, in some cases a reason was given, in others none was provided nor was one required.

Civil and political rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Civil and political rights are a class of rights that protect individuals' freedom from infringement by governments, social organizations, and private individuals, and which ensure one's ability to participate in the civil and political life of the society and state without discrimination or repression.

Civil rights include the ensuring of peoples' physical and mental integrity, life and safety; protection from discrimination on grounds such as race, gender, national origin, colour, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, or disability;[1][2][3] and individual rights such as privacy, the freedoms of thought and conscience, speech and expression, religion, the press, assembly and movement.

Political rights include natural justice (procedural fairness) in law, such as the rights of the accused, including the right to a fair trial; due process; the right to seek redress or a legal remedy; and rights of participation in civil society and politics such as freedom of association, the right to assemble, the right to petition, the right of self-defense, and the right to vote.

Civil and political rights form the original and main part of international human rights.[4] They comprise the first portion of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (with economic, social and cultural rights comprising the second portion). The theory of three generations of human rights considers this group of rights to be "first-generation rights", and the theory of negative and positive rights considers them to be generally negative rights.

"I thought the Cons here were all for companies being able to discriminate however way they wish,"

Obviously, what you "thought" is wrong.

I do not know the labor laws there, it is a progressive state so they may have some strange laws, most states I have worked did not require anything be put in writing and if so I am sure they can simply say "downsizing" or "budget cuts" and that would be that.
