Are background checks required for private gun sales in Rhode Island?

Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only for handguns
No, but recommended
No, not required

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

Background checks are required for all private gun sales in Rhode Island, regardless of the type of firearm being sold. This means that both long guns and handguns must go through a background check process before they can be transferred to another individual. While option B mentions only requiring background checks for handguns, this is not entirely accurate for the state of Rhode Island. Options C and D mention that background checks are not required or recommended, but this is not true for private gun sales in this state. Therefore, A is the most accurate answer.
