Comedians Steve Hofsterrer, Brent Mukai and Colin Moulton take you with them via hidden camera as they go to a Las Vegas gun show and find out just how easy it is for anyone to get their grimy mitts on a gun. The three then set off to purchase a home, get a fishing license, rent an apartment and rent a car. They soon learn that there is only one major purchase you can make in a red, hot hurry in America, and use it while you’re still in the mood.

The point of this video is that no registration after the purchase is required (like it is with things like houses, cars, and animals). No insurance (like cars), no training or education (like managing a restaurant), and no mental health check (like many jobs). So all someone has to do to obtain a gun is lie in one box on a form. We have safeguards on almost everything in our society to protect us from ourselves and each other. But with guns, the existing laws are VERY easy to get around. All you have to do to get around the straw purchase law is to want to.
