There is no equity between the violence in Chicago and the contaminated water in Flint.
Flint's problem is measurable where regulations exist and the adherence to them was completely absent.
Chicago is a federal problem where regulations don't exist. Just that simple. Chicago's gun problem would be blamable if it was completely contained to the borders of Chicago. Same is true of Washington, DC and New York City. Guns travel across city and state borders and there is no controlling them. The cities tighten up their gun regulations and nothing ever changes and it is because of interstate transport of guns.
