"within two to three weeks" was the official line from the state when I wrote about this in February.

Here are people sharing their experiences after I posted that story to this sub:

Rather than being passive-aggressive. Would you care to explain the complexities behind this? Because to me it sounds like the step in the right direction is either banning civilians from possession of guns, or require mental and physical testing, insurance, and quarterly accountability reports.

Reply to Does anyone know how I can access archived issues of the Providence Journal? Im looking for an article from March of 1974 by HunkaHunkaBerningCow

Go to your local library in Massachusetts and ask them for help. They will contact Providence Public Library and pass on the information and relevant dates. PPL will scan the article and send it to your library and they will pass it on to you. If your library is not able to do this for you, contact PPL directly at info@provlib.org and politely ask for help. Include as much information you have about the article you are looking for. Libraries prefer working with other librarians, so definitely try your local library first.

Reply to Income tax? by TheRhodeIslandFamily

We met with our tax guy yesterday and he said we could expect the check in 5-6 weeks. If you filed in February, the turnaround was 5 days.

I don't know what we're going to do when he retires. I love how much my tax guy loves doing taxes.

Nice way to reduce a very complex problem to not only a reductive simplistic look at it with zero depth but also political argument. Sweet good work!

Reply to School safety by Imjusthereforgossip3

Many share your concerns but it feels better to do something about it. Keeping gun violence out of schools & decreasing it in the community takes effort. Suggest momsdemandaction.org/events Also Moms Demand Action-RI on facebook. Right now an Assault Weapons Ban (They are increasingly being used in mass school shootings) and a Safe Gun & Ammo bill are waiting in the state legislature. They need our support. All my empathy to the concerned parents. How can can the kids of RI concentrate on their schooling & enjoy life if they don't feel safe?

Reply to Reptile vets in RI? by SalivatingMoron

Look up the odd pet vet. Well, he’s in Waltham? But he is amazing and treats all the weird varied animals regular vets don’t regularly care for.
