The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

Background checks are required for all firearms in Rhode Island, whether the transaction is with a licensed dealer or a private seller. This requirement helps ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as felons or individuals with certain mental health conditions, cannot easily obtain them through private sales. It is important for responsible gun ownership and public safety.
