Why are you so desperate to try to link gun ownership with white supremacy?
How does it make you feel that black people have been buying guns in record numbers over the past year?

You think more suicides happen than home invasions? Is there any data to support your belief?
Edit: I found some data.
https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/ascii/vdhb.txt
According to this, home invasions when a household member is present occur about 200k times a year with around 50k of those turning in to violent crimes against the present household member.
Meanwhile there were 24k suicides with a firearm in 2018.

Seems you are several times more likely to be victimized in your own home during a burglary than to commit suicide with a firearm.
Imo this makes it pretty clear that keeping a firearm locked up and inaccessible in an emergency is a greater risk than not.

The federal government cannot force local law enforcement to enforce anything. There have been several Supreme Court cases about it. Its called the anti-commandeering doctrine.
So in other words, they are all optional.
