Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law on Saturday, prohibiting gun industry members from engaging in certain marketing practices that might appear to promote “unlawful paramilitary” activity or that might appeal to children.
Dubbed the “Firearm Industry Responsibility Act,” the bill Mr. Pritzker signed specifies that it is unlawful to “advertise, market, or promote a firearm-related product in a manner that reasonably appears to support, recommend, or encourage individuals to engage in unlawful paramilitary or private militia activity in Illinois, or individuals who are not in the National Guard, United States armed forces reserves, United States armed forces, or any duly authorized military organization to use a firearm-related product for a military-related purpose in Illinois.”
