Lets guard our Rights Again in Providence

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Tuesday April 10th, 2018 3:30PM Rally at the State House

Our rights are in trouble folks, no easy way to put it. 

H7075 Bump Stock Ban, and H7688 Red Flag bill are both being called up for consideration. These bills were already heard in committee and "held for further study", we will not have a chance for another public comment. These bills are being called up in order to be voted out of committee and off to floor vote. History shows that a bill called up from further study means it's going to floor vote and has a LOT of support for passage. There is not much we can do except contact our senators and reps, and show up at the state house hoping our mere presence gives legislators second thoughts.

Neither of these bills have changed from the original versions. Red Flag has zero due process for false accusations of firearm owners, and Bump Stock ban still includes "rapid fire device" which can be interpreted later by the AG to include anything they wish! 

If able to attend wear yellow, be respectfully but help pack the State House!
