Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signs law banning firearm advertisements that appeal to children

A law that bans firearm advertisements that produce a threat to public safety or appeal to children has been signed by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

Pritzker signed the bill alongside lawmakers and gun control advocates at Gun Sense University, an annual training conference of more than 2,000 Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers and survivors, hosted by Everytown for Gun Safety.

"We hold opioid manufacturers accountable. Vaping companies accountable. Predatory lenders accountable. Gun manufacturers shouldn’t get to hide from the law — and now, they won’t be able to," Pritzker said in a statement.
