To clarify, the special locations the NY bill bans guns from are:

Times Square;
Private businesses, except those that post prominent signage (so Antifa know which ones to burn down?);
Places of worship;
Public transit;
Sports arenas;
Parks;
Libraries;
Government buildings;
Playgrounds
Entertainment venues;
Protests
Businesses that sell alcohol
"among other venues"

I'm reminded of that line from The Incredibles - when everywhere is "special", nowhere is...

For anyone that knows NYC this is pretty much a ban on guns. There are so many parks in NYC that you can technically pass through one while crossing the street.

Also if you're in Manhattan there is always some sort of protest going on. So come out of your apartment building and you might just walk into a protest.
