AR-15 Ban Passed, Grandfather Clause Added… Now They Want To Do This!
About this video
Colion Noir discusses Rhode Island bill H8073, which he explains would eliminate the grandfather clause from last year’s assault weapons ban, potentially making it a felony to possess previously legal firearms. He presents a Rhode Island state representative’s floor speech as evidence that firearm bans proceed incrementally, arguing that grandfather clauses are temporary measures rather than permanent compromises. Colion characterizes this as part of a broader pattern he’s observed across multiple states.
Key takeaways
- According to Colion, Rhode Island’s proposed H8073 would remove the grandfather clause from the prior year’s ban and criminalize possession of previously legal firearms
- Colion interprets the state representative’s remarks calling the original ban ‘a partial step’ as confirmation that restrictions expand incrementally beyond initial promises
- Colion advises against trusting grandfather clauses as permanent protections, presenting Rhode Island as an example of his broader concern about progressive firearm restrictions
