I'm a materialist, and as such I see that the "right" to own and use weapons in this way is conditional on things outside the control of individuals. What do you think happens to a black man who shoots a cop in self defense?
We depend on us to protect us from bigots. And it's more effective and less morally compromising to do this when the bigots don't have guns. As it is an honest self defense class for my people starts with "have someone who knows how prison commissary works" and ends with "get right with the lord" because that covers the full spectrum of likely outcomes when a nonwhite person defends themselves with a weapon in the US.
