According to the ATF, this will be a months-long public education campaign to inform residents of stiff penalties for illegal firearm purchases.
According to the ATF, the campaign aims to bring awareness to “Straw Purchasing.” This is where someone purchases a firearm for someone who legally cannot own one.
The ATF said this can increase the risk of gun violence. They said it also comes with steep penalties, up to 15 years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
“It’s not something we’re just going to tolerate and accept,” said ATF Special Agent in Charge Joshua Jackson. “So, something that you as citizens and as a community, I want you guys to be vigilant on and make sure that you are not participating in arming felons, gang members, shooters, domestic abusers.”
The ATF said people must pass a criminal background check and comply with state and local laws in order to legally purchase a gun.
