I'm not saying according to one's understanding, I'm saying engaging in criminal activity which is pretty cut and dry.
Buy a gun. OK
Steal a gun. Not ok.
Hate a person because they are black, white or whatever. OK.
Hurt a person because they are black, white or whatever. Not Ok.
Use a gun in justifiable defense. OK.
Use a gun to kill somebody who was not a credible threat. Not ok.
This is actually pretty simple stuff that is pretty cut and dry. You are either engaged in illegal activity or you are not. One might THINK they have the right to manufacture an unregistered machine gun and I might agree that is what the constitution intended, but the actual laws of the land will disagree with you. So as much as I'd love to dremel tool some HK packs for a bunch of PTR guns, there is something that keeps me from doing it and that is knowing the law of the land.

So we have to allow for the unlikely.
I think we both know the nature of the KKK, Weather Underground, Black Panthers and we can probably guess what BLM will mostly be like. But we still have to allow for the person who just doesn't like black people to the extent he joins the KKK BUT is unwilling to engage in any criminal activity of any kind. They participate in marches, say some vile shit and generally make life a little more sad...BUT...if they have the self control to not engage in criminal activity they can have a firearm just like any other law abiding citizen.
Or to put it another way "if you can find one righteous man in a wicked city then at least he should be spared from destruction." I know I paraphrased that and please don't think I'm starting a discussion on theology.

Not sure that will actually happen even in CA or we'd have deputized Black Panther Safety Patrols already. I'm sure some batshit insane congresswomen will introduce the idea in the form of legislation, but it won't go anywhere and it's right up there with FEMA camps, politically supported white nationalist groups developing drugs that sterilize minorities and other moonbattery.

Send BLM to Chicago to stop the black on black murders, where black bodies stack up like cordwood week after week and year after year, and where there seems to be little outrage or protesting. I guess black on black murders count far, far less than white on black ones.
BLM can arm up, militarize all they want. If they get in the way of voting locations, freedom of movement or commerce for citizens in general, they will run into problems. But just like the Black Panthers, they're too small to make any credible difference in the big scheme of things.
