It's funny how you only use Chicago because it is about the only data point that even vaguely supports your claim. Everywhere else the opposite seems to happen. Obama's claim was true when he said that states with the most restrictive gun laws tend to have less gun crime and death than those with less restrictive gun control.
In fact the states with the highest gun crimes/deaths are those that tend to tank low in gun control laws and restrictions.
It's like you're holding unto the outlier despite all the other more numerous points of data that don't support your claim.
First of all Chicago isn't a state it is a city but trend holds true for cities as well. Secondly how does it change what I said.
Those with higher gun crime rates tend to be those with less restrictive gun laws. Those with lower gun crimes tend to be those with more restrictive gun control laws.
And when get to the country scale it becomes even more one sided. Countries with more restrictive gun control laws have a vastly lower gun crime rate than the US. The also have a lower violent crime rate.
You can keep pointing at Chicago but it doesn't change the facts that the majority of data points your stance is wrong and has been mostly disproven. It's like you're trying to say albino's are the natural skin tone for people but when people point out that the vast majority of data shows that albino's are not the natural skin tone you keep pointing to an albino friend of yours and saying nah ah this one albino proves my point.
Just because Chicago might be the exception doesn't make it the norm in fact most data shows that places with more gun restrictions tend to experience lower gun crime rates.
How am I wrong the data literally supports my claims because those claims have come from a larger sample size than one city.
Let me ask you. Do you disagree that there are a number of European countries that that have less gun violence/less violent crime than the USA even though they have stricter guns laws than us?
Do disagree that the the states/cities with the higher gun restrictions often times have lower gun crime and death? Or that that states/cities with lower gun restrictions tend to have higher gun related death and crime? Because all of these statements are supported by data and facts.
So you won't answer my questions... I can only assume because you don't want to admit that if truthfully answered the above questions it wouldn't look good for your stance about more restrictive gun laws empowering criminals to do more gun violence.
