It's not like it would matter. You can buy a gun in a nearby state and carry it across state lines without much trouble. Most of the guns used in Chicago come from Indiana.

That depends on the type of gun and the state.

Handguns have to be transferred across state lines to a FFL in the state where the transferee resides.

I don’t think GP is commenting on the legality of it but rather on the possibility of it.

Well if you don’t care about legality you don’t need to buy a gun somewhere with less restrictions on guns…

In practice it is not easier for an Illinois resident to buy a handgun in Indiana than in Illinois. Even an illegal one.
