One must keep in mind that organized crime has ruled in Chicago for decades. The unrestrained thuggery of union bosses and known corruption and scandal in city government, and Mayor Daley's documented history are evidence that criminals control local laws and ordinances for Chicago -- up to and including the Governor's Office (remember Rod Blagojevich). Chicago also produced the likes of Al Capone, Obama, Rahm Emanuel, etc., etc.
These unsavory characters and dirty politicians would be very uncomfortable if its "law abiding" citizens were permitted to carry weapons. After all, they might return fire.
Instead, Chicago has defenseless citizens who are wholly dependent on city government for "so-called protection". That dependency gives rise to bigger city government, more government control and higher taxes -- the mantra of liberal politicians.
