Responsible Firearms Marketing Act

This bill directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to study how firearms are advertised and marketed and to identify practices that may be unfair or deceptive. The study must look at ads that may appeal to people under 18, ads that may imply or encourage illegal use, and marketing of semiautomatic assault weapons. The FTC must report its findings to Congress within 2 years. Within 18 months after that report, the FTC must issue rules banning firearm manufacturers, dealers, and importers from unfair or deceptive advertising or marketing, and violations would be enforced under the Federal Trade Commission Act.
