I guess what confused me is that I posted that Staten Island has the highest number of people with permits so there should be plenty of legal gun owners, but you responded as if all guns are illegal.

Here is a quote from the link I posted.

When it comes to legal gun possession, Staten Island is the most well-armed of the city's five boroughs per capita, according to state data.

The numbers show roughly 6,400 Staten Island residents with gun permits, indicating that Staten Islanders are more than four times as likely to have a handgun permit as residents in the rest of the city.

Just because there are a few more hoops to jump through does not, IMO, mean it is essentially illegal. I don't know about the permits for long guns, most places those are easier to get than for handguns. Even in places with strict gun laws usually it is easier to get a rifle than a pistol.

Yes, some places don't make you get a permit and don't make you register the gun, but that doesn't mean in places that do, no one can get a gun legally or no one bothers and all guns that are there are illegal.

So I was trying to figure out how we get from lots of people, the highest rate in NYC, have legal guns to she could only run into an illegal one as you seemed to think all guns are illegal there.

Now a concealed carry permit is hard to get, but I don't see how just because Gina has shot a gun it had to be illegal.

I also didn't see where she said she shot them on the rooftops, I first figured she was hunting during hunting season in a proper location. I know a lot of people go dove hunting around here, I assumed that those kinds of hunting could also include pigeons in areas where you get pigeons living out in the countryside (and I have seen pigeon flocks in rural areas).

Or at least I figured she went hunting in either a place where there was no one to report gun fire, as I don't think she'd go to a place dangerous enough where no one notices a few extra gunshots from people popping the pigeons.
