One of my colleagues has hated me for a number of years and been trying to give me a hard time. A couple weeks ago, he told our supervisor that I own a handgun and am a member of the NRA (NEITHER OF WHICH IS TRUE). I was chatting with my supervisor once after that, and he casually asked me about my opinions on guns and gang members and stuff. I didn't tell him much. I do have some black friends, but as far as I know they are not gang members. Anyway, I was soon fired for "poor performance". It is obvious that he fired me because he doesn't want any problems with guns or gang members, but I am not connected to either.
Keep in mind that this is Los Angeles, which does not have a gun culture. In this part of town it's safe to assume that anyone who has a gun is either a cop or a drug dealer.
So I have 2 questions:
1. Can I sue the company for wrongful termination?
2. Can I sue the other worker that told my supervisor this lie about me?
