Are assault weapons banned in Rhode Island?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if they are fully automatic

  4. Only in certain cities

The correct answer is: No

Yes - This answer is incorrect because as of 2018, Rhode Island has a new law that bans the sale and possession of any semi-automatic firearm that has the ability to accept a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds. This includes most assault weapons. Only if they are fully automatic - This answer is incorrect because the law in Rhode Island specifically targets semi-automatic weapons, not just fully automatic ones. Only in certain cities - This answer is incorrect because the ban on semi-automatic weapons applies statewide, not just in certain cities.
