Less than a year after promising they weren’t “coming for anyone’s guns,” Rhode Island lawmakers just filed 18 gun control bills — including one that would criminalize possession of firearms purchased lawfully before their last ban even takes full effect.

Remember last year, when Rhode Island Democrats rammed through a sweeping ban on modern sporting rifles — the ones they love to mislabel “assault weapons” — and swore up and down they weren’t coming for anyone’s guns? They were just regulating future sales, they said. Law-abiding owners had nothing to worry about.

Yeah. About that.

At a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Ocean State lawmakers dropped 18 gun control bills in a single package. Not sales restrictions. Not waiting periods. Full-on possession bans. On firearms Rhode Islanders already own. Legally. Before the prior ban has even fully kicked in.

This is exactly what gun rights advocates have been screaming about for decades. And it’s precisely what the gun control crowd has been telling us would never happen.
