A lawsuit has been filed against 3 Chicago suburbs by a group of civil rights activists on Tuesday for forcing them into taking much harsh gun-control measures to stop the flow of weapons into the city’s neighborhoods crime-ridden neighborhoods.
The complaints have been filed against Riverdale, Lyons and Lincolnwood in Cook County Circuit Court and it was seen that the gunshops of these towns as well stores in Gary, Indiana have been supplying about one-fifth of the guns that are being seized by the police at the city’s crime scenes.
Chicago insulates other big U.S. in bringing down homicides with about 400-500 murders annually, most of them with guns. The biggest factors causing the high crime rates are illegal weapons that are mostly being purchased in the suburbs, according to Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, who has been on the job for four years now source
