A: In New York, gun laws are particularly strict, and this extends to components of firearms, such as gun clips or magazines. If you received a warrant for gun possession related to a gun clip, it's likely because the law encompasses not just the firearm itself but also certain parts or accessories.

The specific circumstances of your case, such as the type of clip, its capacity, and how it was obtained or stored, can impact the legal implications. It’s important to understand that possessing certain types of gun clips, especially those designed for high-capacity, can be illegal under New York law.

You should promptly seek legal advice from an attorney experienced in New York’s gun laws to address this warrant. They can help you understand the charges, potential defenses, and navigate the legal process. Ignoring a warrant or delaying legal action can exacerbate the situation, so immediate attention to this matter is advisable. Remember, each case is unique, and specific legal advice will be tailored to your situation.
