Are private firearm sales regulated in Rhode Island?

No
Yes, all sales require a background check
Yes, but only handguns require a background check
Yes, but background checks are voluntary

The correct answer is: Yes, all sales require a background check

In Rhode Island, private firearm sales are regulated, and all sales require a background check. This is an important regulation to ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as felons or individuals with a history of domestic violence, are not able to obtain firearms through private sales without going through the proper background checks. It helps in promoting firearms safety and reducing the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands.
