Gun Show: Underground, a New York City initiative, produced the below video that examines the aspects of federal gun laws which allow private dealers and collecters to sell firearms without a background check. The video is only a few minutes long and does a pretty good job of explaining both the current laws and how they allow the sale of firearms to those who would not pass even a basic background check.

I'm pretty sure the Virginia Tech shooter bought at least a few of his firearms at a gun show. Obviously, with his history of mental illness, he would not have passed a background check.
I went to a press conference w/ Sen. Lautenberg two summers ago where he spoke with two or three VaTech survivors. It was really messed up. This loophole needs to be closed.
