Where Do Guns Used to Commit Shootings in Chicago Come From?

Out-of-State Imports
About six in ten “crime guns” seized by Chicago Police originated from gun shops outside of Illinois, according to a 2017 report issued by the department. Crime guns are defined by law enforcement as those that are “ illegally possessed, used, or suspected to be used in furtherance of a crime.”
The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence ranks Illinois’ gun laws as the eighth toughest in the country. The state requires citizens to have a permit to buy firearms and to report stolen or lost guns. Residents who want to sell their guns privately are also required to solicit a background check from state officials and to submit documentation of the sale.
No such laws exist in neighboring states such as Indiana, making them a target for traffickers seeking to sell weapons on the black market in Chicago.

Pretty cut and dried here. Criminals are actively seeking firearms to use in crimes. The gun control has done nothing to reduce crime, and added more crime, by moving the first crime in the sequence to "another state".
