Would you consider redlining or housing covenants that restricted particular groups to be policies that were "enforced at the point of a gun"? Both were contributing factors to segregation.

Similarly, much as I dislike them, the "No Students, Foreigners or Bachelors" restrictions imposed by most housing societies near me are voluntary.
