@Superchunk. There is a huge difference in my opinion between the right of free speech and the right to carry assault rifles. One actually has a practical purpose (even if it is sometimes used in ways I hugely disagree with) the other serves no practical purpose (that I can think of at least) is dangerous and in my opinion just plain nutty.
Also the protecting yourself from the government point isn't a valid reason for being allowed to carry guns around, it may be (in my opinion its not, but whatever) a valid reason for owning a gun - but by the time you get around to rebelling against the government I doubt you are going to be too concerned about the law saying you can't carry it around.
Also if I'm not hugely mistaken the original reason for the right to bear arms was to protect not against the government but against the British. If I'm right about that then the second amendment is hugely outdated as the Brits aren't that likely to invade anymore.
Also why does it matter if he is black or not, he's still carrying a fucking assult rifle!
@Dtewi. Its a figure of speech =P means 'something different'.
Note: I come from a country with a rather high level of gun ownership and a very low level of gun crime. Its because we have the right to own guns yet have a very sensible culture about them, nobody would even think of carrying any gun around in public. Even the cops aren't allowed to carry guns around most of the time.
