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…
Hmmm….. there’s another state that recently required registration of those naughty firearms: the commie capital of Illannoy. Last I heard, the non-compliance rate was about 98%. I’m sure they’ll do better, right?😂
Why are pro-gun people, everywhere, not hammering home the historical fact is that the Second Amendment is entirely about a person’s natural, civil, and human right to produce, keep, and display weapons of war as a continual reminder to govts at all levels, that the sovereign power of the people is loaned to a servile govt, and can be withdrawn with armed force, if and when necessary?
The American revolution was fought with the understanding that weapons of war were essential to individual and community freedom and liberty. The very idea that “the people” have no right or means to wage war against tyranny is at the heart of every other government on the planet.
The sort of talk only works if you’re a leftist.
For anyone right of Mao that’s crazy conspiracy nonsense that’ll get you deplatformed, debanked and/or locked up.
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Seems like how the USA was founded, and put into the first document that the new country produced.
Maybe it is a good thing the DOI isn’t law?
But, but…I am a left “wing nut” (as a pilot, i was always angry that an aircraft has to depend on the right wing).
I don’t get no respect.
Applying logic to illogical people is a waste of everyone’s time. You can’t fix stupid.
“Stupid” and “turnt” aren’t synonyms. People you refer to are definitely “turnt”.
“Stupid” is having proper knowledge, but refusing to act on it. Gun grabbers do not lack information.
Gun grabbers know exactly what they are doing. They (and their supporters) are just plain evil, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. And nothing less than disarming everyone and then shooting the recently disarmed (or the ones who refuse to bend over) will make them happy.
I simply don’t understand the problem. The residents of a state vote for who best represents them. Those representatives are just doing what they were elected to do and the majority of people clearly want. Thus we shouldn’t be surprised when unconstitutional laws like this are written. SCOTUS is still treating the 2nd Amendment and the left leaning states clear F U response to their Bruen decision as unimportant. They play the nuance game knowing full well they could put an end to all of this. But none of us should be surprised when blue states do blue things.
Judges are all alike: politicians. It’s how they got to be judges.
On another note, when will the constitutionalists start citing US v. Miller (1939) to put an end to this “weapons of war don’t belong on our streets” crap? In Miller, SCOTUS opined arms of efficacy to the Military are specifically protected for the Militia and the People. Scalia was wrong when he coined “in common use” because the proper standard existed from Miller. How could an arm become in common use from inception? It can’t if the left objects in a timely manner. But all arms have dual purpose and are certainly of efficacy to the Military and thus through the introductory statement for the Militia and the People as cited in Miller.
“How could an arm become in common use from inception?”
All lawyers embrace “nuance” in a judicial opinion.
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
So called on point lawyerly Defenders of the Second Amendment prefer to regurgitate the usual weak knee claptrap like that’s-unconstitutional when such dribble means nothing to Gun Control zealots. Much to the contrary of the resident losers on this forum there is only one way to cut the head off the snake and that is to Define Gun Control by its History. Right now when you ask 10 people to Define Gun Control you won’t get Gun Control is an Agenda History Confirms is Rooted in Racism and Genocide and there lies the problem.
Here’s a message for the bigots on this forum who if they could would hurl the n- word but instead go about it in other ways…You worthless azzholes are too stupid to realize you are in bed getting hammered by Gun Control.
TLDR
Lol fuck off
Here’s Debbie, trying to think when she should be in the kitchen making me a sandwich. This time she’s straining her tiny little head arguing about something literally nobody in the article or comments was advocating. A man in Debbie’s life needs to get her under control.
I’d like to know the proposed definition of “assault weapon” in this bill. They did not show the whole table or provide a link to the bill in the news report, but what I could see included a S&W .500, a 1911, and a few antique bolt action military arms as well as a semiautomatic shotgun.
A bare-bones all-steel 5″ 1911 won’t reach 50 ounces unloaded. A .44 Magnum revolver might, depending on the maker and barrel length (shorter if it’s a chunkier revolver or has a full underlug- the 5.5″ Redhawk is listed at 49 oz and the 6.5″ 629 with the full underlug is listed at 50.1 oz). On older AWBs, they added the 50oz weight limit on automatic handguns to target AR pistols like the OA-93, but revolvers were generally exempted from this silliness. Deagles weigh more than 50 ounces and they still sell those in California afaik, but they also don’t have the scary “magazine outside of the grip” feature.
Come and Take en ya Commie Schitt eaters!
Wounder how they would like that?
That state!
