I’m with you, except for that ^ part. It’s winner take all in close states like Texas that’s saving the outcomes. Al Gore and Hillary Clinton received more votes than G W Bush and D Trump. In Hillary’s case, it was like 5 million. The fact that Democrats are tightly concentrated is actually helping 2A, like you say. The straight up “popular vote” would elect more Dem presidents.
This isn’t a legal opinion, just my own (I say that because I am lawyer). The concern is that the Forum would be construed as a covered entity under the new law, one that is indeed focusing on the 2A industry here. That’s why movie studios, rappers, authors, gamers and so on, likely don’t think they are going to be affected - or mere individuals expressing themselves. FB, etc., probably also consider themselves outside coverage.
Think of it like the “tobacco industry” being barred from appealing to minors, although we could all as individuals express whatever we wanted to on the subject of tobacco. (The analogy is only to an industry’s members being covered, not subject matter, - youth-recreational shooting is not an illegal activity in CA, nor considered an “unhealthy” activity anywhere, and is in no way analogous to underage tobacco use, obviously).
