I was going to comment on this but I don't have an hour to dedicate to reading all the data/articles/reports you've posted.

I did skim a bit though and don't buy some of the data. For example, I just don't believe that white men are four times more likely to be carrying drugs or weapons in their cars than black men or latino men. I also wouldn't believe that black men are four times more likely to be carrying that white men.

There may be four times as many white gunowners in the states than black gunowners (legal or otherwise), but that is a very different thing than saying that a white man is four times more likely to be carrying one than a black man.

As such - I'm not terribly interested in what you're doing. Interpreting stats with an obvious agenda trashes credibility.
