Are firearms registration required in Rhode Island?

Yes
No
Only handguns
Only assault weapons

The correct answer is: No

The requirement for firearms registration in Rhode Island is not mandated for all types of firearms. In general, Rhode Island does not require the registration of rifles and shotguns, which is why the answer indicating that registration is not required is correct. However, handguns and certain types of firearms, such as assault weapons, may have specific regulations surrounding their sale and transfer, but these do not equate to a universal registration requirement. This distinction in firearms regulation illustrates the complexity of gun laws in the state, and knowing the specifics about which firearms may require more rigorous tracking is important for proper compliance with the law.
