The Stopping the Fraudulent Sales of Firearms Act would make it a federal crime to import, manufacture, or sell firearms and ammunition using false or fraudulent claims, representations, or promises. The bill also makes it illegal to use wire, radio, or television communications across state or national borders to promote such fraudulent firearm and ammunition transactions. This legislation would apply to anyone engaged in these deceptive practices, including manufacturers, importers, and sellers. The bill adds these new violations to existing federal firearms laws under Title 18 of the United States Code and would subject violators to penalties already established for other firearms violations. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the bill text.
