>If I were a policeman and I came across someone with an illegal weapon of any kind I certainly would arrest them and if I were a DA I would prosecute them.


OK, fair enough. Going to ask that you read this.

Here's the number of the day. 47.3%. 47.3 percent of those convicted for federal gun crimes...a racial disparity bigger than any other type of federal crime.

Think about that...and then think about those (the Ta-Nehisi Coates supporters, etc.) who decry the disproportionate stats on race and criminal charges and convictions).

I'm with you on your original point. But remember that you (not you personally, but the royal "you") can't have it both ways.
