Federal Judge Claims Open Carry Is Not a Constitutional Right in Rhode Island [More]
Nominated by the Vote Freedom First president…
Rhode Island’s Democratic-controlled state House on Friday approved legislation that would ban the sale and manufacturing of many semiautomatic rifles commonly referred to as assault weapons. The proposal now heads to the desk of Democratic Gov. Dan McKee, who said in a post on the social platform X on Friday evening that he plans to sign the bill into law. [More]
Dan does have his priorities…
And note how AP characterizes them as “weapons of choice.”
I guess that’s always depended on what lie you wanted to perpetuate.

McKee says he will include an ‘assault weapon’ ban in next year’s budget. [More]
Well, he beat the Republican 58% to 39%, so Rhode Islanders evidently have the overseer they want. And it’s not like “gun laws are strong enough” would put fire in my belly…

We need go no further. Plaintiffs’ failure to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits of their claims sinks their attempt to require the district court to issue a preliminary injunction… We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court, denying the request for a preliminary injunction.

Snotty, arrogant, and imperious in their denial of fundamental rights, just like the Founders intended.

Democrats in the Rhode Island General Assembly have introduced legislation that, if passed, would grant localities the ability to give non-U.S. citizens the right to vote in municipal elections. The measure marks the latest attempt by leftists to give foreigners and, in this case, even illegal immigrants the opportunity to influence the U.S. electoral process. [More]
Just like another place that works just fine.
That means if a municipality votes for citizen disarmament, the invaders have a say. Sure, Rhode Island ostensibly has limited preemption, but use and discharge control by cities means good luck with either, and Democrat control can change that.
And the traitors are Representatives:
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”, right?
Any “gun rights leader” who tells you that is just being politically gutless — or worse — and what’s more, he knows it.
