Who is responsible for enforcing the background check requirement for private gun sales in Rhode Island?

The Rhode Island Attorney General
The local police chief
The seller of the firearm
The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management

The correct answer is: The Rhode Island Attorney General

The Rhode Island Attorney General is responsible for enforcing the background check requirement for private gun sales in Rhode Island. While local police chiefs may also have a role in enforcing this requirement, the Attorney General has the authority and oversight to ensure that the law is being properly enforced statewide. Additionally, while the seller of the firearm is responsible for conducting the background check, it is ultimately the Attorney General's responsibility to enforce the requirement and hold violators accountable. The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management does not have a role in enforcing background check requirements for gun sales.
