Good luck. You can see where some of the language was directly lifted from the MA ban.

At some point over the years, there was discussion that "registering" each AW at the local PD would cost some money.

Correct. If that's the case, and I choose to comply, I'll probably need to refinance my house in order to be able to come up with that much cash.

In summary, Mia Tretta was victimized in a felony attack and thinks that a ban on "assault weapons" will prevent future felony assaults.

It will not, I'm sorry to say.

Seems like Mia Tretta gets paid by Bloomturd to capitalize on her misfortune but she was surprised to learn that 1911's aren't banned in RI? I don't even think they're banned in the shithole State she came from but she wants them banned here cuz she goes to woke-ass Brown. What a surprise!!

The best thing RI could do for public safety is fire all of those politicians, and send them back to the dreaded private sector.

Here is another link to the proposed AWB:

H5436

Looks like it's just a total of $25, regardless of how many AWs are registered.

There is a rally planned for Wednesday, March 26th, at 2PM at the statehouse. Details:
