A few points. First, NYC has and will always comprise the supreme voting bloc in NY state politics. The NY gun laws are no exception to this.

Second, most NYC residents do not own cars. Not because they wouldn't like to, necessarily, but because they are far too expensive to park.

Ergo, when a TN popo initiates a grudge stop against a driver with NY tags, he/she is most likely pizzing off a driver who had absolutely nothing to do with NY's gun laws. In fact, I'd arguee they are inherently counterproductive and angering a New York voter who might otherwise be inclined to support gun rights.
