What’s your stance on gun ownership?

I’m a 32 year old black man living in America and I’m Pro-Gun and anti police. <br>I think that everybody has the right to defend themselves and the second amendment was written to protect us, not to allow us to hunt or sport shoot. <br>Also, all these mass shootings aren’t a gun problem, it’s a mental health problem. <br><br>When you take away our ability to defend ourselves, the government will have full control of us. <br><br>Why do you think back in the day, they didn’t want black people to own guns?
