Majority of gun show operators in New York state agree to firearm tracking and sales rules – Most gun show operators in New York state have agreed to new rules designed to track firearms sales and make sure that background checks are completed, authorities said Thursday.  Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was able to hammer out the provisions with 23 operators — who run more than 80% of gun shows in the state — after undercover state investigators purchased firearms in 2011 with no inspection of their backgrounds.
