The General Assembly of Rhode Island for two years in a row has refused to allow a floor vote to limit the magazine capacity of firearms to 10 rounds. Why will our Legislators who limit the number of rounds to 5 for deer hunting and 3 for duck hunting in order to protect wildlife not limit firearms to 10 rounds to protect our children and our citizens? We the undersigned request a floor vote during the 2015 session.
Why is this important?
The surrounding States of MA, CT, MD, NY and NJ have all limited firearm magazine capacity because it will save lives in a mass shooting. As a life long gun owner I support joining our neighbors in this common sense measure to protect our citizens.
