So make it legal for rapists to carry guns, after all gun laws are pointless
Gun laws shouldn't prevent law abiding citizens their natural (and constitutional right) to bear arms and defend themselves. That's exactly what we had in Chicago, and also in DC. Criminals had the guns, and law abiding citizens were forbidden to. If they did try and exercise their 2A right, they then became criminals themselves.
In the SCOTUS case McDonald v City of Chicago (2010), I don't think the plaintiff is illogical at all, as in this interview he explains how gangbangers have taken over his neighborhood, his house broken into numerous times, the police were powerless to stop them, and all he wanted was to defend himself and his home.

Would it matter if there were no gun laws in Chicago? They gang bangers don't seem to care, do they...
