Chicago's List of Banned handguns.

Chicago PD has issued its list of banned handguns. The stated reason is that they are unsafe. Looking at the list I’d have to say yes and no. Mostly they’re cheap and fall under the “class” of handgun called the “Saturday Night Special” by anti-gunners. Others are manufactured by companies like SIG and Walther and are by no means cheap. Mostly I think this list is intended to get Chicago’s foot in the door. If this list can weather legal challenges expect to see other firearms added to the list. I'd be interested to see what is Chicago's criteria for induction onto the list, and that may give us an idea as to whether the list will hold. In the end it looks as if the goal, barring a total ban, is to make firearms and the process of getting one too expensive for the little people, and that sounds just lie Daley.
