Prevent the Illegal "Straw Purchase" of Firearms - Don't Lie for the Other Guy
This video from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) addresses the serious crime of "straw purchasing" firearms. It explains what a straw purchase is, who is legally prohibited from owning firearms (felons, minors, etc.), and the severe legal consequences for those who commit this offense, including up to 10 years in jail. The campaign highlights the decade-long partnership between the NSSF, the Department of Justice, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) to educate firearms retailers and the public on identifying and deterring illegal firearm acquisitions.
