You're not seriously going to use a case from 1957 are you?

Last time I saw weapons related to race was the black panthers.

The last group of blacks I supported with guns related to race was Robert Williams when he started an NRA chapter to fight southern white dems of the KKK.

en.wikipedia.org

The connection with the NRA might surprise some people who portray the organization as a haven for racist rednecks. Former NRA Executive Director Tanya Metaksa spoke with Williams before his death. She recalls, "He was very proud of being an NRA member and that the NRA sanctioned his club without question."

That said we did get a bigger bonus if we recommended black or female engineers for jobs at our company for a while to help meet diversity quotas - no gun, just money. Trouble is black and female engineers are as rare as hens teeth.
