Answer is - don’t live in a blue state city.

I think you hit on the right answer, the Shreveport demographics I copied from Wickipedia show why it's a blue city with a leftist anti-gun mayor who has been elected twice by a substantial majority.

As of the 2010 census the population of Shreveport was 218,021. The racial and ethnic composition of the population was 41.2% white, 54.7% black or African American, 0.4% Native American, 1.3% Asian, 0.9% from some other race and 1.5% from two or more races. 2.5% of the population was Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Hopefully the LA legislature will soon enact legislation to restore the 2nd A rights of Shreveport's citizens of all skin colors.
