Can local governments in Rhode Island enact their own gun control laws?

Yes, without restrictions
No
Yes, but only with state approval
Yes, but limited to zoning laws

The correct answer is: No

No, local governments in Rhode Island cannot enact their own gun control laws. The correct answer is B. In Rhode Island, the state preempts local governments from creating their own gun control laws. This means that gun laws in Rhode Island must be consistent throughout the state and cannot vary from one city or town to another. This helps create a uniform set of gun laws and regulations to ensure clarity and consistency for residents and law enforcement across the state.
