"Straw purchasing and illicit trafficking often puts guns in the hands of people barred from possessing them, which is why @SenatorCollins, @SenatorLeahy, & I introduced a bill to crack down on these practices."
"The Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act will increase safety in our communities by making it an explicit federal crime to act as a straw purchaser of firearms and by creating tougher penalties for trafficking guns to prohibited persons."
