AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Stopping the Fraudulent Sale of Firearms Act," amends Title 18 of the United States Code to make it illegal for any person to import, manufacture, or sell firearms or ammunition through false or fraudulent means. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision to existing law that prohibits individuals from using deceptive pretenses, representations, or promises when dealing with firearms or ammunition. Additionally, the bill makes it unlawful to transmit communications about such fraudulent sales through interstate or foreign wire, radio, or television communications. The legislation also modifies the penalty section of the existing law to include penalties for violations of the new fraudulent dealing provisions. The goal of the bill appears to be to prevent dishonest practices in the firearms and ammunition marketplace by creating clear legal consequences for fraudulent transactions and communications related to those transactions.
