Video: Gun laws questioned after Colo. shooting



>> lawmakers across the country are calling for stricter gun laws . authorities here say the weapons found at the scene of the shooting were purchased legally from gun stores in the last two months. plus nearly 7,000 rounds bought online. also legally. we get our report tonight from justice correspondent pete williams .

>> a rourora, colorado is aware of a shooting rampage. four people were shot who worked there. nathan dunlap was up so the over being fired. the shootings at columbine high school in 1999 prompted the state to change laws causing the gun show loop hole that allowed purchases at gun shows without a background check. but the purchases are commonly allowed handguns are legal to buy across the country and the shotgun is widely used by $0 hunters. only the semiautomatic rifle is restricted. five states ban it's sale, new york, new jersey, connecticut and massachusetts, california is the 5th. both the rival and the 100 magazine found at the scene would have been illegal under the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 .

>> members of congress and ledge laters across this country should not be afraid of the nra and should be standing up to say we are going to do something you still have a right to own a gun but we can help people. defenders of gun rights say this will not end mass shooters.

>> putting restrictions on the law-abiding wouldn't have much impact in this case.

>> officials say the weapons used in friday's shooting were purchased legally starting in may and ending in two weeks ago in gun stores in the denver area.

>> even the rumor on restrictions caused a run on am nation weeks ago. a powerful reminder of why congress is unlikely to do anything.
