It should come as no surprise that Rhode Island gun control advocates have been pushing for an “assault weapon” ban for years, as the smallest state in the Union takes up the challenge from larger dumpster fires like California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Colorado in a competition to see which territory is truly the least American.
But the anti-Second Amendment comrades in their fascist little eutopia believe that this is the year they will finally achieve victory, proving that a tiny state can be the biggest loser. In typical Democrat fashion, where the law is as fluid as gender and deception is served with every meal, the legislation proposed in the Rhode Island House and Senate claiming to restrict manufacturing, sale, and ownership of “assault-style weapons” will instead ban so many additional types of firearms that it will induce a catastrophic end to businesses across the state.
Will Worthy, one of the owners of Big Bear Hunting and Fishing in Glocester, explains how the legislation would ban such a large variety of firearms other than those typically considered “assault weapons” by leftist dolts that the measure would require him to remove 90% of the guns from his shelves, effectively put him out of business. From antique shotguns to revolvers, Worthy demonstrates how the language of the bill is just another creative circumvention of the Constitution, but the be fair, so is even the slightest regulation on firearms.
“This revolver right here is going to be illegal because it’s over 50 ounces… I don’t have one AR-15 on this table, but everything here is going to be illegal… It would shut us down… shut every other store down in the state as well,” Worthy said.
As if you needed a reminder, the next time a Democrat tells you they protect the little guy and the small businesses of your nation, I think it should be clear that they mean those who are willing to kneel before Zod. And just as the DC Comics supervillain and Superman adversary deployed braindead henchmen to do his bidding, so too does the left maintain a stable of useful idiots.
Speaking of which, Melissa Carden, executive director of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Gun Violence, says her authoritarian cheerleading squad has been hard at work trying to pass this ban for the past decade. A huge fan of saying one thing but meaning something vastly different, Carden claims the proposed ban is about getting rid of military-style weapons.
“Weapons of war have no place in our communities… We see the devastation they can wreak on families, loved ones, just pain and suffering that just never goes away,” she said.
With all the deportation flights out of the United States at the moment, one of them has to have an extra seat or some space in the cargo hold, right?
With the House and Senate considering the bills in their judiciary committees ( I couldn’t type that without laughing), support for the measures has grown in recent months as comrade Senate President Dominick Ruggerio has hinted that he would be open to disarming Americans and Bolshevik Governor Dan McKee announced it as his priority during this legislative session. If the measures are passed, the ban will go into effect on January 1, 2026, giving at least some time for Rhode Island conservatives to dump that trash bucket and try their hand at free America.
As a side note, the legislation currently carves out an exemption by which those who already own “assault-style weapons” would be required to register them with the state by 2027. Oh, look, they’re making lists. I know another group of people who once made lists…
