Young new beginner trying to start out but seems impossible

Get active in Politics, get your friends active in politics, vote for candidates that support your views and the laws will change. Talk to people about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, what they mean in this Country and why they exist. Educate yourself if you're not there already, then educate others.

Work for the opponent in your next Gubernatorial election. The one you have now is 100% fire breathing TOOL and doesn't deserve to hold the office, let alone have aspirations for something larger.

I'm guessing you didn't vote in the last election, based solely on your age? If that is true, you got exactly what you deserved.

As Aristotle opined 2500 years ago, if you don't get involved in politics you're destined to be ruled by your inferiors.

Yes, get active in politics, but do not let this turn into a political thread. (Here's your hint!)

Yeah, I looked up NRA pistol training courses and saw that there are some in N.Y. but do I need to have a permit to even try them in N.Y.?

The course in NY only let's you use airsoft pistols so no license required however the course in VT needs no license either, as there are no real firearms laws in VT, and gives you hands on experiance with several caliburs, makes and models of firearms.

That's probably the most mentally challenging thing I've ever heard.

Agreed, however in order for their "firearms training" courses to comply with NY state law they're not allowed to let anyone lay hands on a pistol that is not on that individual's personal permit. Remember, techinically it's illegal to walk into a gun store and handle a handgun before you purchase it in NY. Luckily 100% of shops ignore this stipulation.
