I didn't say anything about the Civil Rights Movement,"real" or otherwise (whatever that means), but since YOU brought it up, let's go there.
Owning and carrying a gun is a civil right under the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. The Supreme Court has affirmed this.
I am a gun owner. People such as yourself believe that I shouldn't be "allowed" to own and carry a firearm, and those people work to restrict and/or remove my right.
Do I need to go on?
