Banning the Sale of Assault Weapons

2025 - Rhode Island Senate

Conservatives Oppose

Description

SB 359 bans the sale of popular semiautomatic firearms like the AR-15 from being sold in Rhode Island. CPAC believes this is an attack on Rhode Islanders’ 2nd Amendment rights, and it opposes this bill. The Rhode Island Senate passed SB 359 on June 20, 2025, in a 25-11 vote, and Governor Daniel McKee signed the measure into law.
