Actual resolution:

I was just vote #666 and it's up to 74% of the people don't agree with it, what I can't understand is how 26% of the people could even think this is a good idea, I mean, are the other 26% that are voting all the new criminals just trying to push this so they have a safer place to rob, rape and do thier thing??

 

Come on people, WTFU!!!!

The city council voted in a resolution to urge the state assembly to ban semi-autos. This is a symbolic gesture, and yes, they are ignorant fools.

I agree, it's a symbolic gesture. I dont think it will go anywhere. It is full of all sorts of misinformation, and does not address any specifics such as existing semi auto guns.

I read the resolution. Makes for entertaining reading if you have the stomach for it. Contained in the resolution is the distilled wisdom of our opponents. It reveals their thinking and direction.. I urge everyone to read it to understand our opponents ideas so he can be DEFEATED.

 

OP's link to the resolution. It is short. Read it. http://council.providenceri.com/efile/138

I liked the part when they said that single-shot firearms were the most effective for hunting and self-defense.

Ever lived in RI? Not the brightest folks up there...

They should be banned, according to the resolution, because they are self-loading and a shooter can quickly fire many more bullets than with a single-action firearm such as a revolver.

 

And yet another expert who has no idea what they are talking about.

I read that Chicago passed the 500 mark for murders, 80% gang related (estimated 70,000 gang members) and the preferred weapon was an illegally obtained handgun. Therefore the politicians see the solution as banning the sale of assault style rifles to law abiding citizens. Such impeccable logic.

Wonder what they are going to do to ensure that the bad guys their citizens are defending themselves against don't have semi-auto firearms?

Looks like they passed the resolution.

Can't enforce. If you read it, there is a preemptive statute preventing localities from making more restrictive gun laws then the states.

There is no way a semi-auto ban would be constitutional. They are the most popular form of firearm and have been in common usage for 100 years.

 

Edit: I have to take this back, in case our ass-in-chief gets to replace a conservative justice.

This.......... Pure Political Theater

They are trying to override State Preemption

 

 

2nd paragraph -- "Bill 2573" = This act would remove the jurisdiction of the state over the control of 1 firearms, and vest

control with the city or town which issues gun-related licenses

I expect it to go to court. No way they'd let something like that go through without a fight.

I have family all over RI and had lived in Providence and coastal Narragansett years ago. Providence is an absolute shit hole as has been for some 60+ years according to my dad. Federal Hill is Jersery Shore with worse accents. No loss if a tsumani cleaned it out.

If it ever passed, it will be a summer time haven for criminals for easy work.

I was just in Providence, RI for 6 weeks on a job. I spent about 10 days in Federal Hill. For the most part, Providence and its surrounding towns are ghetto's with high unemployment, and high crime. This is exactly the type of place where you need to carry a gun on you.

 

The locals were telling me stories about the neighboring town called Central Falls. The town is bankrupt, the mayor was arrested, you can buy drugs on any corner. RI actually tried to give the town to MA but they refused to take it. We worked in this town for a few days. We called the Central Falls police dept to hire an off duty officer for security on location while we were there, they told us they couldn't help and that we should call the Pawtucket police. They are that understaffed.

 

I definitely will not miss the place. Horrible food too.
