Not being able to own or carry a pistol does equal "taking away for
guns". Chicago and some of the other cities in its county keep passing
laws that ban the ownership of pistols. They keep getting overthrown by
the Supreme Court and they keep passing variations.

The entire state of Illinois disallows carrying a pistol concealed. The
more armed citizens the lower the crime rate - Consider when Florida
switched to shall-issue and a ton of the locals started packing almost
all robberies switched to tourists and illegals.

Nearly the entire state disallows carrying a pistol openly with the
exceptions being the obvious ones like way out in the country hunting
ferral pigs or being inside a "business that allows it" which is to
say working at a pawn shop.
