Thank you Democrats, now let’s see that same passion for the 2nd Amendment as you have for parliamentary procedure. Common sense won this round, let’s keep it going.

🚨 BIPARTISAN SENATE MOVE STALLS GUN BILL 🚨

In a rare bipartisan vote, 16 Democrats joined 4 Republicans this week to block a leadership attempt to bypass normal committee review of Rhode Island’s controversial Assault Weapons Ban Act. Senate rules remain intact — for now.

This wasn’t a fight about the policy. It was a fight about respecting Senate process.

Senate Update — Procedural Vote Blocks Leadership Motion

Tonight (Thursday, June 12th), based on reports from the Senate floor, leadership attempted a procedural maneuver to pull the Assault Weapons Ban bill (H5436A) out of the Judiciary Committee and move it directly to the Finance Committee.

A point of order was raised, challenging the move as out of order. After debate, the full Senate voted 22-17 to sustain the point of order, preventing the attempted end-run around normal committee process.

For now, the bill remains held in Judiciary — but procedural activity around this legislation is clearly intensifying.

👉 We continue to closely monitor both the process and the process being used.
