Undercover New York City investigators bought high-powered pistols from an Arizona gun fair without undergoing a background check, officials said.

One made the purchase despite telling the seller he was "probably" barred by law from gun ownership, a report said.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office said the investigation exposed "a dangerous gap in our existing federal gun laws".
