Are assault weapons banned in Rhode Island?

  1. Yes, all assault weapons are banned

  2. No, there is no ban on assault weapons

  3. Only certain types of assault weapons are banned

  4. Only for those without a special permit

The correct answer is: Only certain types of assault weapons are banned

Rhode Island does have a ban on certain types of assault weapons, but not all assault weapons are banned. Option A is incorrect because the ban only applies to certain types of assault weapons, not all of them. Option B is incorrect because there is in fact a ban on assault weapons, just not a complete ban. Option D is incorrect because even with a special permit, assault weapons are still subject to the ban on certain types. So, while there is a ban in place, it is not a complete ban and only applies to specific types of assault weapons.
