Rhode Island joins the list of states that are assaulting 2nd Amendment rights and individuals' privacy with newly proposed legislation. Check out the fee they want to impose on execution of our RIGHTS.
A sample of their attack:
"The bill seeks to change a good deal of RI firearm law, with the most egregious being the complete elimination of the 1959 law 11-47-41 which prohibits registration of firearms, and/or firearm owners. This bill, if passed, would require every single firearm owned by law-abiding Rhode Islanders to be subjected to a $100 “registration fee”, require the name, address, fingerprint and signature to be filed with their local law enforcement agency. Anyone who fails to register a firearm is subject to a $3,000 fine and/or 3 years in jail – per offense."
I found this paragraph humorous:
"Another aspect of this legislation is to require that every long-gun sold in RI must leave the gun shop with a “safety device designed to prevent the unintended discharge or discharge by unauthorized users”. If we read this one more time we notice that this is perhaps the most foolish part of the proposed legislation – a “safety device designed to prevent the unintended discharge” – those of us who aren’t completely in the dark, already call this a “safety” – and firearms already have these “safety devices”. Then there’s the “safety device designed to prevent… discharge by unauthorized users”. Once again, this already exists – it’s called “responsible firearm ownership and handling”. If the legislators proposing this bill are seeking some sort of device that will be able to discern the difference between a person who is “authorized” and one who is “unauthorized”, then we might need to step into uncharted territory here and create some amazing technology."
