This is how convoluted the 7th Cirucit's decision is : Yes, even the Presser Court would have struck down Chicago's draconian anti-gun laws.

In Presser, the Court was clearly hedging their bets, and trying to mitigate the possible damage that could be incurred by their decision by specifically stating, that, even placing the Second Amendment out of view, States did not have the right to start outlawing ownership of arms by the public.
