Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main gun control bills being proposed in Rhode Island?

Rhode Island is considering two key gun control bills: S 2653, which aims to ban 'large capacity' magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and S 2224, which proposes a ban on 'assault weapons' as defined by specific features like detachable magazines and pistol grips.

How does Rhode Island's proposed magazine ban differ from other states?

Unlike some other state bans, Rhode Island's proposed S 2653 reportedly lacks a grandfather clause, meaning it could be a complete ban on possession of magazines holding over 10 rounds, requiring modification or surrender of existing ones.

What is the definition of an 'assault weapon' in Rhode Island's proposed bill?

Under Rhode Island's proposed S 2224, an 'assault weapon' is defined as a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine that features at least one 'offending feature,' such as a folding stock, pistol grip, or flash suppressor.

What are the potential consequences of registering an 'assault weapon' in Rhode Island?

The speaker warns that registering an 'assault weapon' under S 2224 could lead to future confiscation and allows the state to dictate how the firearm can be transported, stored, inherited, and used, imposing further restrictions.
