We don't have the strictest gun laws in the nation, we are a shall issue state and can buy most stuff. If you want an AR-15 or a CCL you can buy one in IL, even Chicago residents can buy them. The population of Cook County is second only to LA county and is a smaller county geographically, so there's a lot of people in a small area. Most of the crime is on the near south side, and that is where Chicago police are really mistreated by the PD administration and the city of Chicago. The courts and correctional facilities are broken, and that adds to the problem.

AR15's and similar semi automatic rifles are absolutely not legal in Chicago. If you want I will link to the ordinance. Also "high capacity assault clips" are also illegal in Chicago.

However I do agree Chicago no longer has the strictest gun laws in the nation. That's is a throw back from the time when hand guns were banned and all rifles must have been registered. Pretty much the only thing legal a very short while ago was shot guns and bolt action rifles. So while Chicago probably no longer has the strictest gun laws in the nation, we are absolutely in the top 5 if not top 3.

How long before the liberal progressives start crying, "SEE! WE TOLD YOU SO!"

You can always track the nation's #1 **** show at heyjackass.com.

Navy, according to our "friends" at the Violence Policy Center, there has been a total of 3 murders by concealed permit holders in the entire state of Illinois since August, 2015. Chicago alone had 717 murders with a firearm in 2016. Not that facts matter to liberal progressives anyway.

Apart from the AR-15 nonsense in your post (see Link Removed and Chicago's Assault Weapon's Ban), have you actually looked at the doors of Chicago businesses? They are posted and signs do have the force of law! As far as your Near South Side comment goes, that's wrong too. Here is the 2016 heat map:
