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

Yes, without restrictions
No
Yes, but only for discharge ordinances
Yes, but they cannot be stricter than state laws

The correct answer is: No

No, local governments in Rhode Island cannot enact their own gun control laws. This is because Rhode Island state law preempts local governments from creating their own regulations related to firearms. The State of Rhode Island explicitly reserves the authority to regulate firearms laws at the state level, preventing local jurisdictions from implementing their own unique gun control measures. Therefore, option B, which states "No," is the correct answer.
