This video analyzes Rhode Island's proposed bill H8073, which seeks to remove the grandfather clause from a previous assault weapons ban, making possession of previously legally owned firearms a felony. Speaker Colion Noir argues this demonstrates a pattern of incremental gun control, where initial compromises are later revoked.

The analysis also touches on legal arguments regarding 'police power' versus property confiscation under the Fifth Amendment.

Rhode Island's original 2025 assault weapons ban, set to take effect July 1, 2026, prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transfer of certain semi-automatic rifles and shotguns. However, it allowed lawful owners to possess these firearms. A new bill, S2710, introduced in February, seeks to amend the original law by adding 'possession' to the prohibited list, effectively banning possession after the July 1, 2026, deadline. This amendment would require owners to sell affected firearms to federally licensed dealers or out-of-state individuals by the end of 2026.
