I went from an Archimedes to one , but that was solely because it ' s increasingly looking like I ' ll never have a connie or anything else that can effectively use it , whereas I do have a Cat and other ships that can make use of the Dragonfly . It ' s mostly just a LTI token , though . but over the last year , CIG hasn ' t done much to inspire me to purchase anything further . Until I see more firm details on the core game mechanics for the PU , I ' m not shelling out . <| sep |> This was the answer last time this question was asked . I didn ' t copy the sources off the original . credit utayaravakninBecause Chicago is surrounded by areas so close that don ' t have similar gun laws , the effect is heavily blunted . Chicago recovers a huge number of guns used to commit crimes . For every gun that the LAPD recovers , Chicago recovers 2 . 25 guns . The proliferation of guns in Chicago is much higher than in many other cities because of the demand for guns by criminal organizations in Chicago is higher and there ' s no restriction stopping you from simply going elsewhere as you said and getting a gun . Chicago does not have the strictest gun laws in the world , for the record , or even necessarily in the US . New York and Los Angeles are pretty comparable in terms of gun law strictness , for example . Comparing Chicago to Australia , the typical poster child for gun control , some differencesChicago does not register guns , Australia does . To get a gun in Australia requires having a lawful reason . I don ' t think Chicago has that . Personal protection is not a reason to own a gun . The US Supreme Court disagrees , saying a reasonable claim to want a gun for personal selfdefense should be granted this is paraphrasingsimplifying legal arguments here . Australia doesn ' t allow concealed carry of weapons . Chicago does , though with some restrictions . So I don ' t believe Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the world , let alone in the United States where they are comparable to many other major urban centers .
