So 5 million Remington 700 Deer hunting rifles are not of concern?

Not to mention Winchesters, Savages. Mossbergs and all the millions of others!

One thing of note about Rhode Island, as well as Connecticut, is that they are both states without elected law enforcement officials.

Connecticut eliminated their sheriffs, and call those performing the same functions "state marshals".

Rhode Island has an appointed sheriff, and deputies that handle prisoner transportation, court security, and serving writs.

In neither state is there any law enforcement that is accountable to the voters.

One reason that law enforcement in both states is in lockstep against the Second Amendment is that none of them need run for office, instead being bureaucrats of unelected public safety departments.
