There is a hate towards people who looks like they might be from the Middle East and results on profiling. Another reason why there should regulations on weapons is they do fall in the wrong hands. I am sure in certain areas of the US if people of color was to walk down the streets with weapons strapped on their backs there would be action taken. Yes, there is a difference in who is carrying the weapon.
