A black man and a white man walk down the street carrying an AR-15. Guess what happened next?

by Austin Petersen

Second Amendment activists produced a video showing a white man and a black man carrying an AR-15 down the streets. The two different reactions make a very stark statement.

One criticism however is the lack of information in the video about the relative locations of the two activists. There is no location data, although the black man is in what appears to be Washoe County in Nevada. There’s no way of knowing whether these two activists were in the same state. Also, different police officers act differently, so this is by no means an accurate experiment. Still, it does cause one to question, and the experiment should be repeated with better control over the circumstances so as to provide more accurate results.
