It is interesting to me that most liberals assume that the reason conservatives own guns is because they are afraid of non white people.
That is not the reason

Among the major reasons for conservatives owning guns is that conservatives simply do not trust the government. Despite the fact that our own government has proven on numerous occasions over the last 90 years that it is in capable of being trusted, the very idea of not trusting government is unimaginable to leftist. They and reality are miles apart from each other.
As for me, I don’t trust any government. My family came to this country for the most part in the first quarter of the 20th century. They came from Russia and Poland, and between the Communists and the Nazis who ended up running those places over the next 25 years or so, and murdering over 75 of my distant relatives, I don’t trust any government. The simple fact is that none of my relatives, not those who were murdered, and not those who were effectively enslaved for three generations in Russia, had the means to say “no!“ To their governments. That right is inherent in nature, and specifically recognized and protected by the second amendment. Thank God for the Founding Fathers and the individualist-oriented country that they founded!
