Adi GoldsteinâThe time has come to actâ: R.I. leaders push for assault weapons ban - The Boston Globe
“The time for words has passed,” said Deputy Attorney General Adi Goldstein. “The bills have been heard year after year. They have been debated again and again ... What has changed is the body count, and it keeps going up. The time has come to act.”
Stuck in Senate committe as far as I know. I watched the hearings on 4-25-2023. They went until late in the night. Every yellow shirt person who wanted to was allowed to speak, and 90% of admitted they knew virtually nothing about firearms, they were just following the agenda.
This has come up in RI multiple times and it has failed multiple times. I'm sure one of these attempts they'll ram it through somehow, but it took extraordinary measures to get a mag size bill passed. They had to have ex-officio's sit in the senate committee to force the issue out of committee. Unless there is something going on I haven't heard about, which is entirely possible, I don't see much happening this session. So far this is mostly to Governor and his staff talking about it without being able to move it forward.
And the drivers... number one thing i dont miss about mew england
I live here now and I couldn’t agree more. RI has some of the worst I’ve seen. Tailgating is a semi professional sport here. Signals are entirely optional and MERGE is a skill learned by the braille method. Half the drivers are oblivious. Almost daily I see someone absolutely stymied at rotary.
Then jerking over 4 lanes
Best strip clubs though
Dude that's not fear that's basically reality! The only reason that Mass isn't far worse than it is, currently, is because the dems didn't want to divert big money to gun control. Orwellian level gun control (like on the level of what CA does with the black vans, pp confiscation teams etc) costs big money, money they would have to divert from round schools, horse bridges, and potentially various other socialist programs.
But not until 50 feet past their exit.
In McGowan v. Commonwealth, 464 Mass. 232 (Mass. 2013), the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld a similar law and draw a distinction against Heller. The Supreme Court did not take the case, so it's still undecided law elsewhere. DC still requires so-called safe storage if someone under 18 is "likely to gain access" otherwise.
Not. Even. Close.
Uvalde last year had an impact, that and I believe Bloomberg's money found its way into the the RI senate chambers, that on top of some strong arming by members who said they wouldn't vote on an upcoming budget bill and shut the state down.
