The problem is you also need to know all of the various departmental rules which are passed administratively. They are embodied in the Code of Federal Regulations, which is here: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , but the actual laws can be spread throughout the whole CFR as each department makes their own rules and has their own sections.
the basic federal laws you really need to know are all on who can by a weapon from a licensed dealer, the law forbidding anyone convicted of family violence from having a gun, the law forbidding everyone from having a gun within 1000 feet of school (except CHL from that state), and the law forbidding anyone from having a gun on federal property. Unless you are a dealer, you won't get into much else with the federal stuff.
