Is a background check required for private gun sales in Rhode Island?

Yes, for all firearms
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

Background checks are required for all private gun sales in Rhode Island, meaning it applies to both handguns and rifles/shotguns. Option B is incorrect because it states that no background check is required, which is not true. Option C is also incorrect as it implies that only one type of firearm is subject to a background check, while option D is incorrect because it suggests that only two specific types of firearms require a background check. In actuality, all firearms are subject to a background check in private sales in Rhode Island.
