The NRA stands up for the ccw rights of PoC like me in bigoted places like Chicago. You can hardly blame a man for liking another person who helps him fight oppression.
It's actually worth note that most of the first gun ownership restrictions (not carrying restrictions, but ownership) come explicitly in the era immediately following the civil war, where "negros" were prohibited or restricted from owning firearms. Gun control regarding ownership has a very racist history, and that continues to a large degree today.
Many of the proposals surrounding restricting guns seem to come around tax these days, which is just a way to discriminate against the poor. And, as a matter of statistics, the poor are most likely to be black. It essentially has the same intent and effect as previous voting taxes or effective taxes like poll taxes or land ownership requirements - an attempt to prevent black people from exercising their constitutional rights, and if it some poor white people on accident that's ok too.
Funny how the NRA advocated for gun control around the time the Black Panthers were still around.
