Rhode Island lawmakers propose a gun ban that would outlaw semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns, targeting law-abiding citizens who rely on them for self-defense, sport, and tradition. The bill is silent on how to deal with currently owned firearms, raising concerns about heavy-handed enforcement. This proposal sets a precedent that could ripple outward nationwide.
