Murp,
I'm curious as to how you know the person in Michigan isn't black? It may well be all the cops are black and the home owner is white or vice versa. It should not make a difference.
The problem is we all know it does depending on where you are.
Everything considered, from the places I've been over the years, white southern crackers are about as egalitarian as anyone else when the truth is revealed. A lot seems to change between whether you live in a large city or small town or out in the country.
I used to live in North Carolina and found wide varieties in strange places like Winston-Salem as opposed to Forsythe County a big shift down in cop attitude. Go over into Davie County and it changes even more. Who is the top dog barking? In counties it is generally elected sheriffs and hired police chiefs in cities. That certainly changes who answers to who.
That is the politics of power, who gives the power/who can take it away.

DK knows a secret I know (it shouldn't be a secret) The popularly called 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is in the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment is the hardware (no pun intended) that keeps the door shut and or open on the federal government.
This is different than the 18th amendment that prohibited alcohol and the one (21st) that said it was ok a few years later. It is different than the slow power grab (17th amenment) that disallowed states from sending senators to Washington as a check against federal power.

Once the hinges and locks are taken off a door there is little left to hold the door up or secure it in it's place. I've seen places that has no secure door. People peer out from the dark room looking to see whats coming. They live in fear and do not know what the night holds.

Remember, the next article after the right to bear arms is one to prohibit soldiers from being quartered in homes. If you think that has no relevance, ask someone who lived in Nazi occupied Europe. Folks often think of the 4th as being what protects them from intrusion, it is there for that.
If you look at the intrusions our forbearers were accustomed to and compare it to the current electronic intrusions you are subject to now, the 3rd seems to have new meaning.
Without the right to self protection and means of liberty against oppression, this will become like the also rans.
Besides that, when Britain gets in a pinch like they were in the 30's and 40's, who will GIVE them guns for the folks at home to protect themselves if we get rid of all our privately owned guns.
