Rhode Island has passed an assault weapon ban, Senate Bill 0359, which closely mirrors Washington State's legislation. The ban prohibits the manufacture, sale, and transfer of certain semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns, effective July 1st, 2026. The bill does not include a registration component for lawfully owned firearms prior to the enactment date, unlike the initial House bill. This legislation is expected to significantly impact the FFL industry, particularly small, independently-owned businesses.
