RI Gun safety legislation package to debut Tuesday

According to a post on the Moms Demand Action - RI Facebook page, a package of gun safety bills will be introduced at a state house press conference on Tuesday by House Speaker Gordon Fox, Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed, Gov. Lincoln Chafee, and Attorney General Peter Kilmartin. The presser is reportedly scheduled for 2:30 in Room 313.

According to a document linked from the Facebook post, "opponents of the bills are planning to attend and make a big show to protest everything that is being introduced."

There is nothing posted yet on the General Assembly web site, no further details are available on the content of the proposed legislation.

Editorial note: I fully expect to get a crap ton of hate mail just for posting this. A word of advice to Second Amendment advocates: you're not doing yourselves any favors.
