Enemies are less likely to attack a nation with that capability.
The American family is like a nation, and it must also be able to defend itself against its enemies. This is especially true for black families since not all attacks against them are propaganda. The Second Amendment to our Constitution guarantees all Americans the right to bear arms to provide for their defense, but not everyone believes citizens should have that right. The police cannot be everywhere at once, and racial uprisings, riots and mob actions have and can occur. And those precious moments between the start of such action and the arrival of law enforcement can and has meant the difference between life and death for black families in the past.
