Are private firearms sales regulated in Rhode Island?

  1. Yes, all sales require a background check

  2. No, private sales are not regulated

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but a background check is only needed for sales at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, all sales require a background check

Private firearm sales are regulated in Rhode Island and all sales, whether they are between private individuals or at a gun show, require a background check. Option B is incorrect because it implies that there is no regulation at all. Option C is also incorrect because it only mentions regulation for handguns, but not for other types of firearms. Option D is incorrect because it only mentions background checks being required at gun shows, rather than for all private sales. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
