The clause is enforceable. Your view that eviction is "little recourse" is your personal, subjective evaluation. For some people, eviction could have more serious consequences.

An eviction can be reported on a credit report and might make it harder for one to get a new place to live or a loan. It may also have negative consequence in connection with one's employment. And for people with families, it can be a significant expense and cause serious disruption to their lives.

Yes, it is entirely reasonable to believe that it's unethical for a landlord to require a "no guns" clause in a residential lease.

But you have been asserting that a "no guns" clause in a private, residential lease is illegal and unenforceable. And, at least in the vast majority of States, that is not true.
