A Glob article from yesterday (behind a paywall) talks about the new RI 2025 Legislative session, and its priorities. Number one on their list?: R.I. legislative session begins with focus on assault weapons ban, budget gap, leadership votes - The Boston Globe
Of course, an AWB absolutely should be their number one priority, since they have everything else under control, and because of the thousands of people killed every year in RI by "assault weapons"
Title:
"Once the session gets rolling, attention will focus on whether the Assembly passes a ban on assault-style weapons.
Ruggerio, who has had an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, has long maintained that any such ban should be enacted on the federal level. But said during an interview with Globe reporters, “That is my former position.” He said Governor Daniel J. McKee is planning to put something in his proposed state budget regarding assault-style weapons.
“(Ruggerio) hasn’t come out in favor of an assault weapons ban, but it sounds like he perhaps is more open to it or at least wouldn’t block it from getting a vote,” Machado said. She noted Ruggerio previously allowed a bill protecting abortion rights to come to the floor for a vote even though he opposed it. “So it’ll be interesting to see if that ends up passing,” she said."
As much as I like where we are in RI, I can't get over how f***ed up this state is.
