March 3, 201412 yr Rhode Island: Draconian Gun Control Legislation Proposed http://libertycrier.com/lawmakers-rhode-island-unleash-long-list-anti-gun-bills/?utm_source=The+Liberty+Crier&utm_campaign=0a80e78178-The_Liberty_Crier_Daily_News_3_3_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_600843dec4-0a80e78178-285044409 A number of bills includes ending shall issue carry, assault weapons ban patterned after NY state's SAFE ACT, magazine limits and would affect .22 caliber rifles, 10% tax on ammunition with money possibly going to the Brady Bunch (no this isn't April 1st). " These bills are nearly identical bills to those that stalled in the state Legislature last year, however, anti-gun lawmakers relentlessly continue to focus on law-abiding citizens rather than target criminals. As a result, cities like Providence continue to suffer under the scourge of crime. No committee hearings have been scheduled, but these bills have been assigned to the Judiciary Committees in their respective chambers.........." .
March 3, 201412 yr Im not sure, but if the Brady campaign isnt affiliated with the gov. can they take tax money and give it to them .
March 4, 201412 yr My ancestors settled Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in the early 1630s. They would be appalled at this BS - shame on you, Rhode Island. Silence
March 4, 201412 yr it's never gonna stop till either they win or people start to understand that "it is their duty, it is their right to throw off such tyrants" to paraphrase a bit

March 4, 201412 yr I'm sure they are jealous that they're falling behind NY, NJ, and CT on idiotic gun laws.
March 4, 201412 yr Author Rhode Island is not really a shall issue state. It is a hybrid shall issue/may issue, It depends who issues the permit from what I can gather... http://www.usacarry.com/rhode_island_concealed_carry_permit_information.html Shall Issue for Attorney General May Issue for Local Authorities Permits Issued to Residents or to individuals who own a resident or business in RI 21 years of age required Valid for 4 yeras $40 for New and Renewals 90 Day Processing Time
March 13, 201412 yr It is obvious that they are trying to create an anti gun area in the entire North East

You are more likely to get a permit from a local authority than the RI AG.
March 13, 201412 yr Author It is obvious that they are trying to create an anti gun area in the entire North East it looks that way They were trying to get that Universal Back Ground passed in New Hampshire and I believe it was shot down (pun intended). Even Gabby and her "UBC tour" couldn't persuade them. Maine could go constitutional carry or...it might get worse for conceal carry there according to the OP. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=9389166 "We once again have a chance at getting Constitutional conceal carry in Maine. That's the good news.. The BAD news is that if we don't get it, our whole process of conceal carry will change dramatically for the worse. Basically, MAJORITY report on LD-222 would eliminate the town's ability to grant conceal carry, instead going through the all might state in one centralized database (bad)."
March 13, 201412 yr In a country where decisions are dictated by logic and experience instead of teeny-girly-like emotion, you'd think this sort of legislation would be laughed out of committee. Gun crime has fallen 45-50% since Florida took the bold first step in 1987 to allow concealed carry.
March 14, 201412 yr Im not sure, but if the Brady campaign isnt affiliated with the gov. can they take tax money and give it to them . SEIU, Acorn (in the current presentation), and other Union and "Public Interest" entities will be spending billions of federal dollars on the 2016 election. They will spend more federal tax dollars than any total spending on any campaign to date. Yes, they can tax money and give it to them. They can tax money and give it to whomever they want to.
March 17, 201412 yr My ancestors settled Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in the early 1630s. They would be appalled at this BS - shame on you, Rhode Island. Silence I find it interesting that gun homicides are at the lowest point since 1964, despite record gun sales in the past 5 years. Why do they push this even though gun violence has been dropping steadily the past 20 years, despite there being more gun owners. I think we all know why.....and it ain't about safety.
