** Two Bills To Legalize Suppressors Scheduled For Committee Hearing
------------------------------------------------------------
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND: On Monday, April 12^th, the Rhode Island Senate Committee on Judiciary will hosta virtual public hearing ([link removed]) on 21 firearms related bills. Included in the docket are Senate Bill 508 ([link removed]) and Senate Bill 517 ([link removed]) , two pieces of legislation introduced by Senator Gordon Rogers (R-21) that seek to repeal the prohibition on the ownership of firearm suppressors in Rhode Island. If enacted, SB 508 would also legalize the use of lawfully possessed suppressors while hunting.

Suppressors are currently legal to own in 42 states, 40 of which allow their use while hunting. The prohibition of firearm suppressors in Rhode Island is built on the misconception that suppressors can render the noise of a gunshot silent or inaudible. This could hardly be further from the truth as even the quietest suppressed gunshot is as loud as a jackhammer striking concrete. Suppressors are not a danger to society; rather, they are an effective tool that can help protect hearing.

Help us bring Rhode Island one step closer to becoming the 43rd state to legalize suppressors. CLick the button below to contact members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and politely urge them to vote in support of SB 508 and SB 517.
