The correct answer is: Yes, a background check and a sale record are required

Option A is incorrect because private firearm sales are actually regulated in Rhode Island. It is illegal to sell a firearm to someone who is not licensed or authorized to own one. Option B is also incorrect because while all sales do not have to go through a licensed dealer, there are still regulations in place for private sales. Option C is incorrect because all types of firearms, not just handguns, are subject to regulation in private sales. Option D is the correct answer because private firearm sales in Rhode Island require a background check and a sale record to ensure that the buyer is legally allowed to own a firearm. This helps to prevent firearms from being purchased and used illegally.
