Senator Lautenberg at a press conference introducing legislation to close the "gun show loophole." He was joined at the event by Sens. Jack Reed (D-RI) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA); Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence; Sue Else, President of National Network to End Domestic Violence; and victims and family members of the Virginia Tech tragedy. The victims included Omar Samaha, the brother of Reema Samaha, who was shot and killed at Virginia Tech; and Colin Goddard, who was shot and injured in his classroom at Virginia Tech. The Senators' bill would close the loophole by requiring background checks on sales at gun shows. (April 21, 2009)
