It doesn't make it right, but part of the issue lies with the kind of weaponry gun nut freaks carry as well. An arms race is all but inevitable.
But the rest of your post is probably bang on. I am always amazed at the level of subtle racism when I'm in the US, and that is simple, every day life. Never mind the well known disparity in how blacks, whites and other races are treated by the legal system.
