Illinois Governor Signs Firearms Advertising Bill Into Law

Illinois. Governor JB Pritzker has signed his state's firearms advertising bill into law. The state's firearm industry Responsibility Act bans messaging that poses a public safety threat, appeals to Children or targets those who may use weapons illegally. The law opens the door for lawsuits against companies who make or distribute firearms. Illinois is the eighth state to cut legal protections for those companies. This comes after the Illinois Supreme Court on Friday upheld the ban on the sale and possession of semi automatic weapons in the state.
