Episode Details

A new Indianapolis campaign called “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” is going all out to stop straw purchases—buying guns for people who can’t legally own them—with warnings of up to 15 years in prison and $250,000 fines. Backed by billboards, bus ads, radio spots, and social media, the push highlights how these illegal sales fuel gang violence, domestic abuse, and drug trafficking. Law enforcement reports a 100% surge in gun trafficking cases, and they’re currently prosecuting a 15-person ring. Gun shops are being trained to spot suspicious buyers, and police say these efforts are making neighborhoods safer. Funded by the firearm industry and government, the campaign runs through September with a goal of millions of impressions—and shutting down illegal gun pipelines for good.
