LOUIS \u2014 <\/strong>St. Louis Metro Transit has rejected a public awareness advertising campaign to remind the public it is illegal to lie on a firearm background check verification form to purchase a gun for someone who cannot legally do so on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the firearm industry\u2019s ongoing national effort to help prevent illegal \u201cstraw\u201d purchases of firearms, NSSF<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 The Firearm Industry Trade Association \u2013 purchased billboard, radio, streaming radio service and online digital advertisements for the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssfrealsolutions.org\/programs\/dont-lie\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"st-louis-metro-transit-rejects-firearm-industry-anti-straw-purchase-education-advertising-campaign\" title=\"St. Louis Metro Transit Rejects Firearm Industry Anti-Straw Purchase Education Advertising Campaign\"><strong>Don\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy<\/strong><\/a><sup>TM<\/sup>\u201d program in key locations throughout the greater St. Louis region with the message: \u201cBuy a gun for someone who can\u2019t and buy yourself 15 years in jail. Whatever you do \u2026 Don\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy.\u201d The one-month campaign is now underway, is funded entirely by the firearm industry and will total nearly 43 million gross media impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t Lie\u201d is a cooperative program between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Department of Justice (DOJ) and NSSF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metro Transit buses were originally planned to be included as a significant portion of the campaign. ATF chose St. Louis for this special campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/review-1911-that-takes-glock-mags-meet-the-stealth-arms-platypus\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"st-louis-metro-transit-rejects-firearm-industry-anti-straw-purchase-education-advertising-campaign\" title=\"St. Louis Metro Transit Rejects Firearm Industry Anti-Straw Purchase Education Advertising Campaign\">Review: 1911 That Takes Glock Mags?! Meet the Stealth Arms Platypus<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is unfortunate St. Louis Metro Transit rejected our efforts to combat illegal straw purchases of firearms by refusing to place our \u2018Don\u2019t Lie\u2019 posters on buses. There is nothing controversial about the ads. Everyone wants to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and people who should not have them,\u201d said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. \u201cMetro waited until the day before the \u201cDon\u2019t Lie\u201d campaign began to inform us of their misguided decision. Crime has been surging in major cities, including in St. Louis, and data shows the firearm industry\u2019s efforts to reduce criminal misuse of firearms has a real and positive impact making communities safer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The joint NSSF-ATF-DOJ \u201cDon\u2019t Lie\u201d effort was developed more than two decades ago to raise public awareness about the seriousness of the crime of purchasing a firearm for someone who cannot legally do so. The public awareness campaign drives home the message that anyone attempting an illegal firearm purchase faces a stiff federal felony penalty of up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, as well as an additional 15 years in prison if the straw purchase is made with the intent of trafficking across state lines. The \u201cDon\u2019t Lie\u201d program also assists local firearm retailers by providing resources so they can be better educated and prepared to detect and deter potential illegal straw purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-nssf\"><strong>About NSSF<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry.
