"It's time for these state and local officials to start paying a political price for stomping all over these constitutional rights -- these civil rights, for that's what they are[.]"

In the context the shift from 'constitutional' to 'civil' makes sense, as this is a black gentleman whose rights are being trampled by a state government. That's what the Federal civil rights acts intended to stop; the fact that it is his Second Amendment rights being trampled by a Northern state rather than his voting rights being trampled by a Southern state is immaterial.
