A national push to get guns out of the hands of people with a history of domestic abuse is finding some traction in the Rhode Island General Assembly, while some gun control advocates want tougher restrictions. A compromise bill is moving forward in the state Senate that would order anyone convicted of a felony domestic violence offense to surrender firearms and file proof of surrender in court. |

Huh, what?
Some legislators in RI want to make convicted felons prohibited persons???
Have these legislators checked the federal laws in recent centuries? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
