Senators Lautenberg and Jack Reed (D-RI; far right) introduce their bill to close the loophole in federal law that allows people to purchase guns from unlicensed dealers at gun shows without going through a background check. Joining the two Senators to support the bill's introduction were (from right): Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and Lori Haas, Pat Craig, Elilta "Lily" Habtu and Suzanne Grimes, all who were directly affected by the Virginia Tech shootings last April.
