The \u201cDon\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy\u2122\u201d campaign is in its 23rd year and drives home the message that anyone making an illegal firearm purchase faces a federal felony penalty of up to 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. An additional 15 years can be added if the straw purchase is made with the intent of trafficking across state lines. The program is funded in full by the firearm industry and will now also include federal funding allocated to ATF by Congress. Fort Worth was chosen for this specific campaign by ATF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe firearm industry has always been fully committed to keeping firearms out of the hands of those who should not possess them. We are proud to launch this public awareness campaign in Fort Worth and of our more than two-decade cooperative relationship with ATF, DOJ and the entire law enforcement community to assist them in their efforts to reduce criminal acquisition of firearms,\u201d said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi.<\/p>\n<p>The Fort Worth area \u201cDon\u2019t Lie\u201d campaign will total more than 33 million gross media impressions. This includes an outdoor campaign across 38 high impact billboards and posters throughout the region with the message: \u201cBuy a gun for someone who can\u2019t and buy yourself 15 years in jail. Don\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy.\u201d In addition, the campaign includes 372 radio spots across three top stations in the market and more than 3.3 million targeted impressions across Facebook and Instagram, as well as geofenced mobile display ads.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-531623 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"626\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie.jpeg 575w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-276x300.jpeg 276w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-150x163.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-300x327.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-386x420.jpeg 386w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-560x610.jpeg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-531623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie.jpeg 575w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-276x300.jpeg 276w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-150x163.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-300x327.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-386x420.jpeg 386w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dont-lie-560x610.jpeg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>To legally purchase a firearm, a person must pass an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System verification, or NICS check, and fully comply with all state and local laws. When a criminal is illegally trafficking in firearms or knows they cannot pass this check, they may try to induce a friend or acquaintance to make the purchase for them. This is a straw purchase and is a felony.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cDon\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy\u201d program also involves educating firearm retailers to better detect and prevent straw purchases by providing \u201cDon\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy\u201d retailer kits containing a training video and information for storeowners and staff, as well as point-of-purchase displays aimed to deter illegal straw purchasers.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about \u201cDon\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy\u201d at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dontlie.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.dontlie.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/nssf-launches-fort-worth-campaign-against-illegal-gun-purchases\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the NSSF . . .
