Rhode Island lawmakers pass bill to ban sales of assault weapons

Rhode Island lawmakers pass bill to ban sales of assault weapons

The Democratic-controlled state House in Rhode Island has passed a bill that would ban the sale and manufacturing of semiautomatic rifles known as assault weapons. The governor, Dan McKee, has expressed his intention to sign the bill into law, making Rhode Island the 11th state to have such a prohibition in place.

Gun control advocates have been advocating for an assault weapons ban in Rhode Island for over a decade, but lawmakers have been divided on the issue. The bill only applies to the sale and manufacturing of assault weapons, not possession, and it aims to bring Rhode Island in line with neighboring states.

Critics of the proposed law argue that assault weapons bans do little to prevent mass shootings and only penalize law-abiding citizens who own such rifles. Despite opposition from both Republicans and gun control advocates like David Hogg, the bill is seen as a step towards enhancing public safety.

Nationally, assault weapons bans have faced legal challenges, with gun rights groups claiming they violate the Second Amendment. The conservative-majority Supreme Court may soon address the issue, with some justices expressing skepticism about the constitutionality of such bans.

Overall, the passage of the assault weapons ban in Rhode Island reflects ongoing debates around gun control and Second Amendment rights in the United States.
