Don't Lie Campaign Targets Straw Purchases | Indianapolis News
Description
A new “Don’t Lie” crackdown is hitting Indiana, backed by ATF, DOJ, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, warning gun buyers that helping someone illegally obtain a firearm could land them 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. With gun trafficking cases doubling last year and illegal guns flooding crime scenes across the state, officials are targeting straw purchases — buying guns for those who can’t legally own them — as a key supply chain for criminals. A major Indianapolis case involving 15 suspects underscores the urgency. The campaign’s goal? Deterrence through fear — making communities safer by cutting off illegal gun transfers before they start.
