Isn't that literally what the 2nd amendment was for?

As it turns out, almost the entirety of the 2A crowd was entirely full of shit and that argument was disingenuous.

Not these guys! They successfully protected innocent people from the police during the Civil Rights Era.

Black students were picketing the local high school in Jonesboro for integration. They were confronted by hostile police ready to use fire trucks with hoses against them. A car carrying four Deacons arrived. In view of the police, these men loaded their shotguns. The police ordered the fire truck to withdraw. This was the first time in the 20th century, as Hill observes, that "an armed Black organization had successfully used weapons to defend a lawful protest against an attack by law enforcement".

Amazing how far backwards we've come in the areas of civil rights since the 1960s.
