He was killed by a kid, a drug lookout, with a gun purchased locally. Yeah, I mean locally. As in just a few miles over the border in one of the nearby south suburbs.

During an investigation, it turned out a (I don't remember the numbers) large number of crimes (that could be traced back to a gun) were committed by people with guns purchased at a handful of LOCAL gun shops.

During undercover stings, the shops were busted knowingly selling guns to straw buyers. The straw buyers were often girlfriends of gang bangers.

So when some right wing douche bag calls Chicago a "gun free zone" - you will know the rest of the story.
