This video analyzes recent legislative efforts in Rhode Island to ban firearm possession, building upon a previous law that prohibited sales and transfers. The speaker, Jared from Guns and Gadgets, explains how Bill S359A, enacted last year, defined 'prohibited firearms' and banned their manufacture, sale, transfer, and purchase, while grandfathering existing owners.
