When a person purchases a firearm the dealer is required to perform another background type check called a Firearm Transfer Inquiry and you cannot take possession until this check has been completed. Then after all this background checking you have to wait 72 hours before you can take the firearm home. In Chicago a resident must in addition to all this attend a 5 hour firearm safety instruction course. A Chicago resident must apply for a Chicago firearm permit. When the Chicago resident goes to buy a firearm he HAS TO GO outside the city as gun sales are prohibited in the city. This does not mean the gun buyer is prohibited from owning a gun in the city of Chicago. Then the gun must be registered with the city government.
Now the criminal element doesn't comply with these laws at all, they just buy the gun illegally from other criminals that supply guns or steal them. Maybe you need a better search engine than google.
