Lightfoot is making use of her city's problems to try advancing the Marxist agenda. Her argument is essentially "firearms of all types must be outlawed nation wide because Chicago doesn't like to control it's own criminals, and they might get armed up from somewhere else if Johnny Hayseed in Georgia is allowed to keep his squirrel rifle".
It's a non-starter. Clean your own damned house before you try to hire a cleaning crew to demolish mine.
Notice how she mentioned Chicago criminals are somehow acquiring "military grade" weapons in Indiana by "going across the border"? What she is calling for is gun bans in every corner of the nation, far-flung areas utterly unconnected with Chicago, in order to solve a local problem that she is unwilling to address under her own authority. It's the "Bloomberg Strategy" - when Bloomberg couldn't manage to lead his own city, he developed a strategy to try to drag the rest of the country down to make New York look better, more civilized, in comparison.
And "military grade" weapons? Seriously? No one has military grade weapons but the military - and Chicago PD. So is she accusing the military (and her own police department) of supplying arms to Chicago gang bangers? It seems that she ought to be addressing the military (and her OWN police department) rather than law abiding citizens of Indiana.
This sort of thing is precisely why we have been seeing the phrase "Molon Labe" being thrown around so much lately. "Come take them", because we are not going to just hand them over, and especially not because the Chicago mayor pisses herself at the thought of controlling her own criminals and would rather have the entire citizenry of America enslaved than to address a very localized problem.
Nope. If you want 'em, Lightfoot, carry your own precious ass out here and take them. We'll wait while you get your coat to come out here into the cold.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
