Lawsuit Against Cities Near Chicago, for Black Crime in Chicago is Struck Down

Thanks for your perspective and service. As a white guy who has lived in gang territory in the East LA and Orange County, I became highly sensitive to gun violence. I have also seen first hand that the restrictions place on personal gun ownership only put me at greater risk of becoming a victim. It took me five years to get my CCDW license in California and ironically it only came six months prior to the Army moving me to Arkansas. I suspect that Chicago is no different in its laws to gun ownership and concealed carry and if I believe FBI and NRA statistics, those laws have had no effect on crime rates and who victimizes whom.
What seems to be fueling the crime rates in what are admittedly the most Democratically controlled cities and localities in America is a strange cocktail of economics, low employment, fractured families, increased drug use, inadequate policing, poor public service/governance and repressive gun control. From my perspective it makes no difference if the community is white, black, Hispanic, Asian, etc....you have those elements in place and the violence only increases.
Instead of blaming guns, I agree we need to blame the people who use them for the crimes they commit. However I would never blanket-blame a whole race or creed or ethnic group as being untrustworthy with gun ownership. Growing up as an Army Brat followed by close to 40 years of service on active duty and in the reserves have disabused me of stereotypical biases....And yes....I am still a work in progress.
The one bias I still cling to is a belief in the wisdom that crafted our Constitution and Bill of Rights. It is to me no coincidence that the 1st & 2nd Amendments are where they are in the pecking order of rights. Both protect the rest of the rights you and I served to protect. That is why I become impassioned against anything that even tries to truncate or amend those rights....be it the PC crowd or the gun control fanatics. That is why I believe that the people in Chicago and every other city controlled by liberal "progressive" Democrats over the last 40-50 years have been repressed. They have had to endure over 40 years of failed policies and a Federal Government that has failed to represent them.
NAFTA and other "great trade deals" have stripped this country of its industrial base and the jobs that moved outside of the US. Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, and Cincinnati (rust belt cities) and numerous Pennsylvania and New York localities have paid the price of what was a liberal progressive deals...deals the union bosses signed off on. The EPA (another liberal Democrat idea) and its attacks on big coal, steal, and gas also killed and is killing jobs across America. The result is our welfare rolls grow along with our national debt and people are hopeless and turn to drugs and other distractions. Families are torn apart because of the welfare system seems to encourages single parent families. And this is cutting across racial and ethic boundaries.
And now illegal immigrants are competing for the few jobs there are and we have Washington Establishment unwilling to close our borders and remove undocumented workers.
So to me this law suit is an exercise of futility and we need to start banding together to address the real issues.

LTC Thomas Tennant - well said .The key emphasis that I was trying to make was the age factor .Absolutely I can't blame an entire race but statically I can't say that the yoUnger generation of blacks are more prone to fire a weapon due to the ignorance of them thinking they can get away with it.
