The Left is still upset about the NY Gun law ruling from SCOTUS. So here is the kind of thing to bring up when they claim it isn't about self-defense. 12 Examples of Defensive Gun Use to Show CNN That Second Amendment All About Self-Defense | The Heritage Foundation
Meanwhile, it is not the Second Amendment that was historically racist, but gun control laws that stripped certain segments of the population of any meaningful method of defending their rights. The fact that slaves were disarmed belies Press’ point—their oppressors knew all too well that armed slaves would defend their inalienable rights to life and liberty.
