Firearms trafficking fuels violence and puts people and neighborhoods at risk. Illegally moving guns across borders or into the hands of felons or other unauthorized people is a federal crime. If you know anything about gun trafficking, including straw purchasing, call ATF.

In 1787, our Founders, in search of a “more perfect Union,” gifted us the greatest system of government in human history. As we commemorate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, let us celebrate their achievement and reflect on what it means to be a citizen of our great Nation. This DOJ will honor their legacy by upholding the Constitution for We the People! 🇺🇸
