Under the Firearm Industry Responsibility Act (HB 218), gun manufacturers that engage in unsafe and unlawful marketing and sale will be held accountable for actions contributing to gun violence in Illinois communities. [More]
These alien freaks literally consider themselves the Keepers.
Next step: We force you to issue warnings.
And the effects on national publications will be nationwide, and not just the advertisements.
So: When does the “firearms industry” cut them off from sales and service?

When does the firearms industry cut these fascist control freaks off? The sad truth is that that will happen when firearms and ammo companies close their doors due to the financial burden of lawsuits from Commie states like Illinois. Until then, they are happy to sacrifice principle for the sale of a hundred pistols here, a dozen rifles there, to Illinois police departments. I think we’d have a better chance of success if we turned one or more of the gun companies into the next Bud Light through public boycotting. Then they might understand which side of the bread is buttered. But I won’t hold my breath.
Long before Smith & Wesson climbed in bed with “Slick Willie” Clinton, they were in favor of restricting civilian access to handguns. Why would they do that?
Their main competitor, Colt, hadn’t sold a single pistol to the DoD in many years and only occasionally landed a police contract.
In third place was Ruger who pretty much had no government sales at all.
On the other hand Smith & Wesson had a virtual monopoly on sales to police departments.
Restrict sales to private citizens and “Presto Change-o”, their competitors are history.
Bottom line, while there may be principled gun companies, Barrett is our favorite example, they tend to be small and privately owned. The big boys, those who could put real pressure on governments hell bent on anti-RKBA policies are the stereotypical “rope selling capitalists” beholden to virtue signalling mutual fund vendors like BlackRock.
Don’t look for a “Deus Ex Machina” rescue. Stop listening for approaching cavalry trumpets blaring “Charge.” No relief force is coming.
Win or lose, this one is on us.
