Schneiderman touts gun-show checks at LI event

Calling gun-show operators "our allies in the fight for gun safety," New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman visited a Long Island gun show Sunday to trumpet a safeguard intended to ensure background checks.

The procedures, developed by Schneiderman's office and gun-show operators last year, call for tagging guns brought into shows for sale by private owners. The tags are inspected as buyers leave to determine whether the gun was sold and that a state-mandated background check was completed.

Schneiderman's office reached agreements with 36 gun-show operators, which is nearly all of the known gun-show operators statewide.

The measures are not enforced by criminal penalties, but the attorney general's office said operators have complied in a collaborative effort.

Two guys meet at a gun show, exchange phone numbers or email addresses. The seller leaves with a gun marked unsold and sells it to the other guy later.
