For the most part, the neighborhoods that were dangerous got more dangerous. The ones that were safe, got safer. The NY Times put out an article on totals over the same period. It correlates almost exactly.
Now take a look at the trend of those who registered firearms following the McDonald case (no longer necessary w/ the new CCW law) Image via John Lott:

Wait! They're showing increased registration rates as a bad thing!
But they talk about how registration is good, and they say they're all for responsible gun owners that register their guns
My stars! It's like they're lying!
Apparently Quinn signed a bill that bans private sales in your state. When they hell did this happen? Because I don't remember any bill like that. I though you'd be all over it.
Did they sneak it through?
They threw a bone to the anti's w/ an amendment that said people 'should' call for a background check on sales and tells the ISP to set up a system but didn't allocate any money to it nor are there any penalties for not doing so.
Then the ICHV could go and claim some sort of 'win'.
