Senate PASSES "Assault Weapon" Ban

This video from Washington Gun Law TV discusses how several Virginia bills, particularly those concerning firearm definitions and age restrictions, are potentially worsening due to gubernatorial amendments. The speaker, William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, details how proposed changes to House Bill 217 could broaden the definition of 'assault firearm' and impact everyday carry handguns.

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.

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.
