Like you and me, only better
NYC where only the rich are armed:
Somewhere, Big Tim Sullivan might be laughing. Over 100 years after the enactment of New York Citys handgun licensing law (commonly referred to as the Sullivan Act), the measure is still working as the political boss intended. That is to say, it is ensuring that New Yorkers who are well-connected, either by status or more nefarious channels, are able to arm themselves with handguns, while average residents remain at the mercy of the criminal element.

‘… in early April, Lichtenstein approached an NYPD officer outside the License Division and offered him a bribe for his assistance in acquiring handgun licenses. Rather than comply with Lichtenstein’s request, the officer reported the attempted bribery to the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau.
Now how was Lichtenstein supposed to know there were honest cops in NYPD?

Amazing that the cost of a license is just $5k or so, and even a felon is only charged $12k, although I suspect the upcharge for this dimwit might have been to make sure he actually got arrested and charged.
