"DON'T LIE FOR THE OTHER GUY."

Buying a firearm for someone who cannot legally purchase or possess one isn't a favor-it's a federal crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison and significant fines.

If someone asks you to purchase a firearm for them, don't do it.

It also comes with lengthy prison time. Read more here: : https://t.co/ZNViKHVQFJ
