It's seem odd to me you'd use a racial analogy as an example for fear of guns.
I guess the problem I'm having is we have societal norms and community norms. If I were walking in rural Oregon along a hiking trail I'd think nothing of seeing someone carrying a side arm. If I were at a concert in downtown Portland Oregon seeing someone with a side arm would give me pause. Seeing a person of another race in either situation wouldn't cause me a second thought.

I'm also not so sure people fear guns. I think some people fear people with guns.
