Um, the juxtaposition of the two cases you presented in your OP. And I'm about to have some coffee; thanks for asking.
Okay, so this is about your views on the unconstitutionality of gun laws. Now we're getting some where. Thank you.

I will bring up a small point that I already did, and one that
dlishsguy just mentioned is this: If you want to see a real contrast between classes, picture a Muslim or a Black man getting caught in the same situation. I'm not concerned about the special class of the economic or political elite; I'm concerned about the poor treatment of second-class citizens.
How does that fit into your view of gun laws, and other things?
