My dude, the last the the US needs rn is even more guns going around. You're looking at this from the wrong angle. Police reform is the answer. If law enforcement officers aren't exhibiting racist behavior, the communities won't need to defend themselves in lieu of proper protection from the police they're paying taxes for.
Hiring good cops is the solution. Not giving scared people more firearms.
LEOs exist as an enforcement arm of the state, one which universaly will always hold power over others, which can attract the wrong type of individuals to the profession. Furthermore, their interests are not your intrests.
Reform will not change that, cops and corruption are a trope as old as they've existed for.
Alternatively, you are armed and advocating for your own interests, its not that you will use the tool at your disposal, but a matter of having it.
