Municode.com says it was effective May 1, 2008 (assuming we're talking about the same code section), so it's been there a while. Call the city attorney. Get on the city council agenda. Call your ward representative.
Any idea if anyone has been convicted under this statute in a self-defense shooting?
Edited to add: I agree with peetzakilla. I think this is more of a phantom problem than anything. If state law allows self-defense with a firearm, and I'm pretty sure it does, that's going to trump a municipal ordinance.
