Chicago has in the last 20 years: banned all handguns, a ban that was only struck down a few years ago.
-required live fire training in order to obtain a gun permit, then banned firing ranges, which prevents live fire training.
-banned any and all gun stores within city limits.
Illinois and Chicago especially is one of the worst places in the country from the perspective of gun rights supporters, and one of the best from the perspective of gun control proponents. So, if the gun control proponents are right in their claim that civilian disarmament prevents violence, why is their so much gun violence in Chicago, one of the most disarmed cities in the country? How do they explain this?

Gun violence has only gone down in Chicago over the past 20 years...so what is your point?
