I checked the New York laws and didn't come across any convoluted laws. You need a license for a handgun, but the requirements are no big deal. New York is a may issue state for concealed carry. Rifles and shotguns are permitted.

Granted, New York is not Vermont when it comes to gun laws, but it's not as restrictive as you make it sound.

Again, firearms are prohibited outright, with exemptions.
Rifles and shotguns can be banned by deletion of just two sentences.
Handguns are entirely by the whim of the presiding judge; practically unobtainable in many counties.

The Bill Of Rights was meant to protect pre-existing rights. You support subjecting a key natural right to the whims of legislators and judges. Pity that right will be legislated away when you most need it.
