This is a shocking news story … these two gentlemen … with no firearm’s license to possess/carry were in possession of fully loaded ‘weapons of war’
(as Joe Biden insightfully instructed us … any gun you do not use for deer hunting is a weapon of war and you don’t take no 9mm luger pistol deer hunting!) Not sure how this can occur in Rhode Island. RI has some of the most comprehensive ‘common sense’ gun laws in the Nation and more are being developed. I’m confident that such laws will prevent varsity-level hoodrats such as these two gentlemen from transiting drugs back and forth from Providence to NYC and Hartford CT and while carrying unregistered/nontraceable weapons of war
