Target shooting in your backyard... Let me guess, you don't live
within an incorporated township or city? Lots cities or townships
have laws in place that prohibit or limit the discharging of a firearm
within city limits.
As for the ATC statement... Wouldn't that have more to do with the
fact that the airspace around NYC is congested? The NYC metro area
has three major airports (LGA, JFK and EWR) and two of them (EWR and
JFK) are two of the busiest in the world.
Those two things aren't really because of NY's regulatory climate, but
just part of living in a megacity...
