I do not much like the person in that photo upthread, because he was doing something that humiliates normal gun owners of every political stripe. (And he was a teabagger, IIRC, an equal opportunity political role)

You made a spectacularly derogatory inference to his manner of dress insulating him from arrest/police harassment, and I just don't think that follows. If it did, the same social evolutionary winnowing process that brings us things like evolving religions or manners of speech, would see most black people in the US dressing like him, if no other reason than to escape unequal police enforcement/ticketing/searches black people are subjected to. (Which of course, would not work, and your inference was similarly flawed)
