Query: Is prosecution under a law passed without due process a denial of due process?
It sounded like a majority of voters on this legislation felt it was improperly rushed into law to avoid due debate. NYC is beyond the reach of external organizations at present, seems. Until NY and NYC form their own grass-roots activist circles capabale of taking on the entrenched establishment, there is little we outside the state can do for you folks, aside from waiting for a Supreme Court ruling.
By circumventing/subverting the rules guiding our Constitutional Republic, the leadership of that state (well, City, really) has ensconced itself via Democratic Majority. They have been working tirelessly for centuries to remove the shackles placed upon them by our Republic that protect minorities from arbitrary and punitive legislation.
You are not alone, but you are separated from us who would help by a thick barrier of accumulated State and local political power. It is a shame this overreach is not crass enough to provoke outright rebellion now, since that will be no longer be viable once this law comes to pass. Instead, they have selected slow strangulation as the means to best deny your human rights; hoping each incremental tightening of their fist will be tolerated by those they seek to rule with impunity.
Mass demonstrations and civil disobeince
in downtown by gunowners of the outlying areas of the state are probably the only recouses at this point to force the leaders of the state to accomodate more than
just their majority. I've been told gun ownership is prevalent in the areas away from NYC; if they make up even 2% of the population of that state, a massive protest or exhibition of civil disobedience may well force the hand of the state government. Convince people they need to spend a couple hundred
now defending their rights by going downtown, or all their thousands in firearms will be forfeit within a decade.
At least NYC will lend credence to the argument that a round-limit will only lead to a reduced round-limit, and that bans of some guns will only lead to a ban of more, and that registration will only lead to confiscation and imprisonment of those exercising their God-given, Constitutionally-enumerated rights. It is terrible what has happened to you all, but from time to time we must lose the Alamo and Thermopylae so we might rally to victory in San Jacinto and Marathon.
All is not lost, but there is a long road ahead of ya'll. I'm sure that the rest of us Patriots outside your state will do our utmost to help when we are able. I am
almost to the pont of advocating the covert
legal personal manufacture of
legal personal firearms and ammunition within the state to at least thwart the omniscient gaze on gun buyers.

Obama is NOT the CHOICE of MOST Americans. Gun control is NOT favored by MOST Americans. His other socialist policies (e.g. Obamacare) are NOT the CHOICE of MOST Americans
Neither were the Bolsheviks or the Jacobin Club--tyranny
