A r u b a ’ s O N L Y E n g l i s h n e w s p a p e r
Illinois to ban advertising for guns allegedly marketed to kids and militants

By John O’Connor
Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Il-
linois will soon outlaw ad-
vertising for firearms that
officials determine produc-
es a public safety threat or
appeals to children, mili-
tants or others who might
later use the weapons ille-
gally, as the state contin-
ues its quest to curb mass
shootings.
Gun-rights advocates say
the plan, which Demo-
cratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker has
pledged to sign into law,
is an unreasonably vague
decree that violates not
only the constitutionally
protected right to own
guns, but also free speech.
The prime exhibit in Demo-
cratic Attorney General
Kwame Raoul’s effort is
the JR-15, a smaller, lighter
version of the AR-15 semi-
automatic rifle advertised
with the tag line, “Get ’em
One Like Yours.”

Semi-automatic guns are displayed for sale at Capitol City Arms Supply, Jan. 16, 2013, in Springfield, Ill.
