To: The Rhode Island State House, The Rhode Island State Senate, and Governor Gina Raimondo
RI Gun Laws
Please sign the petition to enforce current gun laws. Oppose RI House bills: 5576, 5990, 5991, 5993, 5994, 5208& 5573!
It is critical that you the State House Judiciary Committee OPPOSE this proposed legislation which would disregard the Constitution, damage the rights of Rhode Islanders to defend themselves effectively!
Why is this important?
Rhode Island is ranked 8th in the country in regards to it's strict gun laws. From a NRA-ILA study states the fact that 99.8% of legal gun owners never use a gun to commit a crime! So why punish law abiding citizens for the actions of a small minority? That's exactly what these "feel good" bills will do. They would not prevent crime, deter crime, or prevent a tragedy like Newtown!
