According to police, the suspected shooter was apparently a gang member. Such individuals are not known for obeying laws.
It is unlikely that any of the laws currently being pushed by various paranoid gun-haters, would have stopped this shooting.
In part because they are all ALREADY IN FORCE in Chicago where this shooting took place.
The gun-haters are responding by pushing those laws anyway, to disarm law-abiding citizens who haven't shot anybody instead of criminals like the one who murdered Hadiya Pendleton.

A 15-year-old Chicago honor student who participated in inaugural events celebrating President Obama's re-election was fatally shot Tuesday just blocks from her school.
Hadiya Pendleton was among approximately a dozen teens taking cover from the rain in a local park at 2:30 p.m. when a gunman jumped a fence and opened fire, according to reports. Pendleton and other King College Prep students had been dismissed from school early due to exams. She was with other members of the school's volleyball team, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
The gunshots sent the entire group running out of the park in a panic, authorities say. Pendleton and a 16-year-old boy were both hit and collapsed about one block away.
Pendleton was shot once in the back and later died at the University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital. The wounded boy was in serious condition Tuesday night, according to the Tribune.
Many of the teens with Pendleton at the time of the shooting were believed to be gang members and left the scene, authorities said.
