This document discusses several sources that examine how gun traffickers obtain firearms to transport across state lines or into other countries, despite existing gun laws. The sources outline how weak gun laws and loopholes allow for straw purchases of guns at gun shows or privately between individuals, which are then trafficked. The trafficking routes supply the illegal gun markets that arm criminals and drug cartels.
