The US Supreme Court refused to block new safety and record-keeping requirements that apply to New York gun retailers, letting the provisions stay in effect while a legal fight goes forward.

The justices, without explanation or noted dissent, on Wednesday turned away an emergency request by a group of gun dealers who said their Second Amendment rights are being violated.
