The process to get a gun in NYC is basically impossible if you don't know a police officer. Here are the steps. It includes an interview with the NYPD on why you "need" a gun, and most people don't even get to that stage. There's some lawyer on reddit that filed a federal lawsuit about this because it's taken him like five years to get a gun license with no success. It's insane.
The rifle/shotgun permit is a little more permissive, and generally doesn't seem to require an interview (though I'm sure the NYPD would never pass up the chance to be difficult when it comes to people getting one, especially if you had the poor foresight to be born with a skin tone darker than milk).
