As in 2nd amendment right? Stripe's policy here seems to not affect your right to own or carry a gun at all.
Most companies have massive T&Cs which, if we ever read, we'd have objections to. As Stripe is a middleman in payment I can see why they want to protect themselves from any transactions where there's a higher than acceptable risk of the seller breaking the law.
In the US a business needs to have a license to sell firearms and that business has to follow lots of laws, and Stripe probably doesn't want to be in the business of policing their clients.
You also can't sell things like mortgage advice and e-cigarettes, even anything that's considered "flammable", so it seems a quite a jump to call this "anti-rights" rather than simple legal protectionism.
