No, we don't have any recall provision but we can vote the snakes out of office.
It's sort of self-fulfilling though. They were already known as anti-gun before they were elected and we either didn't care or the vote from the city overwhelms our vote anyway. When the next vote comes around we might suddenly decide to care but it won't matter because we'll be overwhelmed by the city vote anyway.
The people in the city (the vast majority of them, there are friends there but not many) most certainly not only don't care about gun rights but are openly hostile.
From a state-wide voting perspective, rural and suburban upstate is irrelevant.
