CNN) -- Here's a thought experiment:
What if large groups of African-American men carrying shotguns and semi-automatic rifles started moseying into stores across America to tout their support of open-carry gun laws?
Would they be greeted by the same anxious looks shoppers gave groups of armed white men who did the same this summer at Target stores and chain restaurants like Chipotle? Or something more lethal?
For Charles Gallagher, a sociologist who studies race, the answer to that "what if" is easy.
"Whites walking down Main Street with an AK-47 are defenders of American values; a black man doing the same thing is Public Enemy No. 1," says Gallagher, a professor at La Salle University in Pennsylvania.

No one should ever think that black folks cant get firearms. They get them from whites. Straw purchases, burglaries, etc.

In Arizona they buy them from gun shops, shows, and one another. Just like everyone else.
WARNING!!! THE FOLLOWING IS A VERY —BASE— ANSWER RETORT TO A PINHEAD, WHO SHOULD BE A MEATHEAD:
In the words of armchair psychologist Archie Bunker:
“It ain’t been no Polock, Wop, Kyke, Spic, Injun, or Chink, d’at’s been in dah street, since d’is here darkie made it to President! So, go figure!”
Now, from me, to the pinheaded meathead, I’m a half-breed Mojave, who heard the words of MLK on my eight transistor radio during one of my ‘study halls’ in high school, and — I — am appalled at the Negro-evoked racism that multiplied with the immaculation of one Soetero-Obama.
And why, pray tell, were multiple gun rights organizations this week cheering the destruction of Durham, NC's racist gun registry?
The truth is, most American gun owners support blacks owning guns and being responsible citizens with them. It's the last part of that sentence that is the problem, as many blacks are raised by the state and taught to be irresponsible for everything they do.
Does insecurity shape journalists' passion for race?
Why, after all these years and now Americans having twice elected what appears to be a black man for POTUS, are some of US still so ef'ing fixated on appearances like "race"?!?!?
It's almost like they're proud of making US see race in everything, like it's a product they've created and are trying to market and sell, but it's constantly losing market share and always needs more promotion.
