if you have strict gun control in chicago and no gun control in michigan (just as an example) then you have no real gun control in chicago. if gun shows don't require background checks and dealers can sell directly to people stating that they couldn't pass a check if they had to, then you don't really have background checks either.
of course universal checks don't really solve a large myriad of problems like the extant supply of guns already out there etc.
I've got no problem with responsible people having whatever guns they want, but the "everyone should be carrying" crowd is a bit scary. maybe you've never been in a bar when someone decides to whip one out, but it's not really a safe environment. having 18 more drunk people also decide to pull out guns is, um... even less safe.
