Chicago handgun laws:
Chicago citizens, who want to own firearms, are not only required to abide by the state laws but are also required to fulfill additional obligations imposed by the Chicago Gun Laws. Citizens are required to possess a separate Chicago firearm permit to own guns. They are also required to complete the Chicago gun registration process in the local police stations and are also required to renew it every year. The firearm permit is only provided to people who complete the Chicago firearm training course, which includes one hour of range training and four hours of classroom orientation. In addition to all these stipulations, gun owners still cannot carry firearms publicly because the state laws do not permit it; they can only carry firearms within their dwellings.
Chicago shootings this 4th of July weekend:
The death toll from Chicago's bloody holiday rose on Tuesday to 16 after two men who had been shot over the Fourth of July weekend died from their wounds..
Over the course of 84 hours during the Independence Day holiday in Chicago, 82 people were shot, prompting calls from Mayor Rahm Emanuel to put a stop to gun violence in the city
Many of the shootings, which began about 3:30 p.m. Thursday, took place in some of the most violent South Side neighborhoods. Five people were reportedly shot by Chicago police, including two who died. The higher death toll was reported Tuesday by the Chicago Tribune.

Maybe Chicago needs more restrictive gun laws?
