Illinois Bans ‘Assault Weapons’

CBS News

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a statewide ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines Wednesday night, after the state Senate and House approved the legislation.

The House voted 68-41 to approve the ban Tuesday. The bill passed 34-20 in the Illinois Senate on Monday.

“After nearly every mass shooting, we’ve seen efforts to ban dangerous weapons thwarted – and then leaders send their thoughts and prayers, while the they throw their hands up – resigning themselves to the idea that gun violence is a sacrifice that Americans must accept,” Pritzker said. “But it doesn’t have to be that way.”

New Law in Arizona Requires 18+ ID or Age-Verification System to Access Online Pornographic Sites

May 20, 20255 min read
Arizona joined 21 other states last week to require an ID for Arizonans in order to view pornographic sites on the internet. HB 2112, sponsored by Representative Nick Kupper (R-Surprise) and signed into law by Governor Katie Hobbs, requires Arizonans who access the online smut sites to prove they are at least 18 by providing a government-issued ID or using an age-verification system that relies on “transactional data.” The bill passed along party lines, with only one Democrat in the State Senate and two Democrats in the State House voting yes.  “Arizona families have had enough,” said Kupper in a press release from the Arizona House of Representatives. “Hardcore pornography has been just one click away from kids for too long, and the companies behind it have looked the other way while cashing in. This law forces them to take responsibility and keeps minors off their platforms.”
