Holding all other factors that exhibit an influence on Chicago gun crime constant, yes.
Your question is akin to asking "Does anyone really believe that implementing speed limits will reduce traffic fatalities?"

Yes.
You should watch last night's townhall.

The answer is no because we are an alcohol culture.

Of course it did.
Prohibition was a failure, but not because it didn't reduce consumption.
Second, alcohol consumption declined dramatically during Prohibition. Cirrhosis death rates for men were 29.5 per 100,000 in 1911 and 10.7 in 1929. Admissions to state mental hospitals for alcoholic psychosis declined from 10.1 per 100,000 in 1919 to 4.7 in 1928.
Arrests for public drunkennness and disorderly conduct declined 50 percent between 1916 and 1922. For the population as a whole, the best estimates are that consumption of alcohol declined by 30 percent to 50 percent.
