RI Gun Shops & RI Gun Owners is a group on Facebook that I have subscribed to. They seem to have excellent resources and are on top of things.

They just posted on Facebook there will be a rally at the State House tomorrow (Feb 12th) at 3:30pm.

The Senate will be hearing testimony on a proposed bill increasing the tax on ammunition sale by an additional 10%.

I do not know the bill number and can not find it using the search on the General Assembly page so I wonder if they are listing all the bills.

I got this today from local club :

"RI gun owners need your help!  RI is proposing an additional 10% sales tax on firearms and ammunition.  Please click here to read the proposed RI Budget bill.
From the RI 2nd Amendment Coalition: "Greetings Fellow 2nd Amendment Supporters.  On Tuesday February 12 the Senate will hear testimony on an Additional 10% Tax on all Firearms and Ammunition. This is an incredible attack by Gina Raimondo on our Law Abiding Citizens who want to exercise their Right under the Second Amendment! This will result in Firearms and Ammunition sales being taxed at 17%. We need you at the State House to show your opposition to this attack on your Rights!!!!! The Progressives are not hiding their agenda; it is right out in the open. They want to Ban all firearms and/or make it incredibly expensive to own, purchase and use your firearms. You MUST get involved. You get involved by going to the State House and standing alongside of your brothers and sisters in this fight. We ask you to get two or three friends and come to the State House any time after 3:30 pm. Please wear your Yellow Shirts, be respectful but be vigilant in your opposition!!!! On behalf of both myself and Michael O'Neil, along with the RI Revolver and Rifle Association, Federated RI Sportsmen's Clubs and Rhode Island Firearm Owners League, we are proud to be at your service again this term. I hope to see you all there this Tuesday. "
