There was another brief from a Black Rights Group, but inside of it was this brief account by Mary Thomas (mother of Isaiah Thomas).
This scheme would almost certainly deny a concealed carry license to someone like Mary Thomas,
mother of basketball legend Isaiah Thomas, who raised her family in the housing projects of Chicago’s
west side. See Nicholas Johnson, Negroes and the Gun, at 333-334 (Prometheus Books 2014). Mary
battled “the gang culture that has captured and destroyed so many black boys.” Id. at 333. “he
refused to cede the problem or the solution to some local bureaucrat or some far-off federal program.” Id.
Instead, Mary chose to protect her family from the street violence that plagued her community by using
the threat of violence. When the thugs came after her boys, they were answered by the dangerous end of
Mary’s shotgun and her warning, There’s only one gang here and that’s the Thomas gang.”
