Chicago is 1 city as part of a larger sample of the entire nation. Secondly, the neglect of urban settings nationwide is a direct result of the 36 years of gerrymandering and having the greatest lopsided average of power in that same time. Gun death is everywhere, not just big cities. I live in the sticks and hear about shootings and gun death almost every day.
Profit protection and asshole lobbies like the NRA have learned to pit blacks against whites and both against cops.
Urban blacks like rural whites suffer from the same problems, lack of livable wages, lack of affordable health care and a flooded gun market. Crime is not greater because of skin color in big cities, it is greater because the population is bigger always in cities. The vast majority of poor blacks are still not violent criminals.
The fucking asshole NRA are the minority of all gun owners nationally, and they are funded by the weapons lobby whom love the fear because that NRA heat shield allows them to sell to both cops and society. Keep fearful whites and blacks and cops scared, that fear sells more guns.
