IL proposed law will violate 1st Amendment to go after the 2nd

Nothing is beyond JB and his minions in Illinois. The state and federal constitutions are minor impediments. Have a problem, buy a couple of state supreme court judges.
 
Might as well go overboard and ban:

Rap, especially gangsta rap that promotes violence and glorifies gangster life
Movies with violence
TV shows with violence
Never gonna happen, but certain elements have sure gone after the popular music of the South and rural America because a guy sings about citizens not letting the violence common to the blue-led big cities happen in their small towns...

Washington Gun Law points out that the law does not only affect Illinois firearms manufacture and sale, but the entire United States. (!) IOW, an Illinois person or entity has according to this law the right to sue the manufacturer, distributor and possibly seller (online via an IL FFL, who I guess can also be sued) for injury caused by a firearm manufactured or sold by such party but misused by someone in Illinois with whom the party never had any contact.

 
Washington Gun Law
There's a ton of hyperbole and fear-mongering on YouTube, but I just wanted to point out that, in my opinion, this is the most credible YouTube site on the internet that reports on gun laws. William Kirk is a smart guy who does a terrific job navigating and interpreting guns (even beyond Washington state). He also has made some amazing predictions and been right more often that not.

I like him too. He really gives a thorough legal analysis of everything he discusses.
 
The proposed law, which Pritzker has promised to sign, is the brainchild of AG Kwame Raoul, and will prohibit firearms advertising "that officials determine produce a public safety threat or appeals to children, militants or others who might later use the weapons illegally". Citing the 25-year-old agreement with tobacco companies, Raoul said "“We’ve gone after the marketing that has historically driven up the consumption by minors for those products that are harmful to them,” Raoul said. "The firearms industry shouldn’t be immune to the standards that we put on other industries.” Supporters cite advertising for a small light .22 rifle with extra safety features, designed and marketed for parents to use to safely introduce their children to shooting.

Legislatures pass unconstitutional laws all the time. It’s aggravating, but Things like this eventually get struck down in the courts.
