As a Rhode Islander and a supporter of Gun Owners of America, I am asking that you Vote NO on these anti-gun bills in the March 26th Judiciary Committee meeting: HB 5443 – Allows individuals to voluntarily add themselves to a watchlist that would restrict their right to purchase or possess a firearm. HB 5651 – Allows access to juvenile criminal records in order to conduct firearm background checks. HB 5654 – Prevents local licensing authorities from granting concealed carry permits to out-of-state residents based on permits issued by other states. HB 5889 – Allows law enforcement agencies to consider expunged records when issuing a license or permit to carry a pistol or revolver. HB 5890 – Specifies that it is unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to possess a firearm. HB 5436 – Imposes an “assault weapons” ban which would prohibit the future possession, purchase, sale, control, and manufacture of commonly owned firearms. Gun bans simply don't work. Instead, they strip normal, law-abiding gun owners of their rights and ability to defend themselves, while failing to stop the violent criminals who defy such bans anyway. I am also asking that you vote favorably on the pro-gun bills that can be seen here: HB 5653 – Prohibits Licensing authorities from imposing additional or stricter requirements than those set by the Department of Attorney General. They are also prohibited from charging any additional fees. HB 5935 – Expands firearm rights to recognize out of state carry permits, authorizes carrying of weapons during emergency evacuations, and establishes an appeal process for being denied a permit.  HB 5936 – Establishes a process for individuals who are denied a permit to carry a handgun to request a review and appeal the decision. Please uphold the U.S. and Rhode Island Constitutions and defend my Second Amendment rights. Gun Owners of America will keep me, and our other Rhode Island supporters informed of how you choose to vote.
