Bill > HR4261

This bill, called the "Stopping the Fraudulent Sales of Firearms Act," proposes to amend existing federal law (Title 18 of the United States Code) to make fraudulent dealings in firearms and ammunition explicitly illegal. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision to Section 922(a) that would make it unlawful for any person to import, manufacture, or sell firearms or ammunition through false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises. Additionally, the bill would prohibit transmitting any communications about such fraudulent sales via wire, radio, or television in interstate or foreign commerce. The bill also modifies the penalty section (Section 924(a)(1)(B)) to include penalties for violations of this new provision, ensuring that those who engage in fraudulent firearm and ammunition sales can be prosecuted under federal law. By adding these specific prohibitions, the bill aims to create clearer legal standards and provide law enforcement with more explicit grounds to address fraudulent firearms transactions.
