As I recall, last year the pro-gun side lacked only 2 votes to establish not only pre-emption but also over-ride a veto by the IL Governor.
This year, as long as the Moore decision is intact, the pro-gun side holds all the winning cards. They can smash any legislation they don't like. The anti-gun side has to play ball, or they get nothing.
Chicago can rant and rave all it wants (and they are, to be sure), they have lost the power at this particular political moment.
ETA: Even anti-gun Judge Kendall sees the writing on the wall.
