U.S. Attorney Wheeler joined ATF to promote the campaign and remind Hoosiers that buying a gun for someone who is prohibited from possessing one can produce deadly results and land the purchaser serious federal prison time.

Right now, our office is prosecuting a straw purchasing and gun trafficking ring of 15 individuals who lived and operated in Indianapolis. The leaders of the ring paid people without criminal records to straw purchase dozens of fi****ms for the purpose of re-selling them to those who could not legally buy guns.

To date, four of those charged have pleaded guilty and been sentenced, with one receiving a sentence of over 9 years in federal prison.

If you buy or sell guns for people who cannot legally own them, you will be caught, and you will go to prison.
