The speaker expresses cautious optimism that SB948 may fail because of its cost to the state, likening it to putting the Second Amendment behind a paywall.

This podcast episode from the NRA Annual Meetings 2026 features NRA CEO/EVP Doug Hamlin discussing the organization's current focus on unity, transparency, and member engagement.

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. He highlights a state representative's statement that the ban was a 'partial step' and that the new bill 'finishes what we started,' suggesting the ultimate goal is total disarmament. The analysis also touches on legal arguments regarding 'police power' versus property confiscation under the Fifth Amendment.

This video critically examines the Department of Justice's decision to defend the Biden administration's 'ghost gun' rule, which expands federal authority over homemade firearms.

The content highlights the expansion of ATF authority through regulatory redefinition rather than congressional action, raising concerns about the erosion of constitutional rights.

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.
