The Message:

Convicted felons, minors, persons determined by a court of law to be "mentally defective" and certain others are prohibited by law from buying a firearm.

If a friend or relative asks you to lie to the federal government or to a federally licensed firearms dealer to try to buy a gun for him/her, don't do it! It's not worth 10 years in jail.

Whatever you do, Don't Lie For The Other Guy!

The Purpose:

To aid the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on how to better detect "straw man" purchases.

To warn the public about the severe penalties for engaging in straw purchases.
