@CJShaneArtBooks well, there are probably plenty of causal relationships but statistically, black people are only 12.1% of the us population, behind Latinos at 19.1%. Compare with 71% of "white" Americans. The male part speaks for itself. And in general a brown/black person trying to get an assault weapon seems to be harder because of various perceptions. They may even suffer from more mental illness as a population because of various factors but just can't get the guns. Or maybe it's cultural.
