Strict Gun Laws in Chicago Can’t Stem Fatal Shots

“Not a single gun shop can be found in this city because they are outlawed.  Despite a continuing legal fight, Illinois remains the only state in the nation with no provision to let private citizens carry guns in public.  And yet Chicago, a city with no civilian gun ranges and bans on both assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, finds itself laboring to stem a flood of gun violence that contributed to more than 500 homicides last year and at least 40 killings already in 2013.  Some 7,640 people currently hold a firearms permit, but nearly that many illicit weapons were confiscated from the city’s streets during last year alone.”
