Okay, I think I understand your position, BUSINESSES have no right to enforce rules more strict than Federal, State or Local law (at least if they are one of the Rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights) even if on the business’ private property.
Someone might be able to convince me of this but for now I remain skeptical. If this is the case, it is only because of the over-reaching interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause.
There is no reason the Interstate Commerce Clause couldn’t be used to take rights of private citizens just like it has been used against commercial enterprises.

***Well, there are reasons, but I wouldn’t expect Congress to listen to them... Part of the checks & balances in place are the actual gun owners themselves, who provide a hefty pushback whenever someone wants to encroach on their rights. Congress would love to have all that additional power, but they would hate to trigger a civil war, so the usual course is to try to split the baby and keep taking rights away one piece at a time, like building a fence around the pigs.

We’re wild pigs, gettin’ some free corn, watching the fence get built.
