Protects consumers from unfair firearm advertising practices, especially those targeting young people.
This bill would direct the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to look into how firearms are advertised and marketed. It would then create new rules to stop unfair or misleading practices, especially those that might target young people or encourage illegal gun use. This means firearm makers and sellers would face new advertising standards.
Currently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has general power to stop unfair or misleading business practices. However, there are no specific laws or rules that focus only on how firearms are advertised and marketed. This includes ads that might be aimed at people under 18 or that seem to encourage illegal gun use. After this bill, the FTC would study firearm advertising and report to Congress within two years. It would then create and enforce specific new rules within 18 months after its report. These rules would stop unfair or misleading practices by firearm makers and sellers, especially those targeting minors or encouraging illegal use.
