On Thursday, June 26, 2025, the Rhode Island Governor signed 2025-S 0359A. Per its terms, “This act [defines] various prohibited firearms and would restrict the manufacture, sale, and purchase thereof.” The act is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026.
As with all recent bans on products protected by the Second Amendment we expect litigation to ensue. We do not yet know when litigation will be filed, whether it will conclude prior to July 1, 2026, or whether it will result in an injunction taking effect at some time prior to July 1, 2026 after which litigation proceeds.
