This is the point of disagreement. I don't believe their civil rights are being violated. They're being invited to step foot on private property, given certain conditions. They only lose this particular liberty if they, the public, deem it a reasonable cost for entrance and agree to give it up. The owners have EVERY right to set these conditions, it's their property.
If one doesn't wish to part with their liberties at the door, then one needs to accept that they won't be permitted to pass the door into someone else's private property. Balance of rights.
Fwiw, I think it's a shortsighted and ineffective way to stop gun violence. And a shortsighted and ineffective way to bar guns in states with CCW permits.
But they have the right to do that shortsighted and ineffective thing.
