Effective gun laws? Did you know the woman in Tennessee had no prior criminal record and passed her background check with flying colors? The truth is firearm laws many of which are unconstitutional do very little in stopping crime. Because people with criminal intent unfortunately don’t follow any laws what so ever. The best thing about our gun laws is a law abiding citizen can still own a firearm and protect themselves against criminal intent, for the time being anyway.

Well, government has security for every government facility under the sun… except for… you guessed it all government school buildings. The government does provide the schools with a sign however, that advertises it as a “gun free zone”. Notice how this hasn’t changed? Makes you wonder…

No, If I had the 5% or more for a down payment I would would wait it out and live in a van down by the river before I spent it on a house in RI right now. High Interest rates and inflated home prices don’t mix, something has to give. It’s not just in RI, I watched real estate values spike after 2020 up north as well, people buying property up north, NH, VT and ME sight unseen in some cases. The pandemic unfortunately had people living in the cities thinking about wide open spaces, and man did they buy up property, this has caused value to go up and inventory to go down as well. Inventory in RI is at an all time low, however I’m optimistic that will change. The economy right now is like a train wreck in slow motion, some people are affected more so than others. If you have money, hold on to it as others may not, this will cause a sell off. People who bought homes in the past 3 years paid way over what they should have, they are dealing with a large mortgage payment, one or two monkey wrenches in their life and boom all done. Now times that by thousands.

My sympathies goes out to the woman legally driving her SUV take a left hand turn. Imagine you look both ways and see nothing and proceed to move and then smash! Out of nowhere a dirt bike slams into your SUV and you witness the carnage. Not only is she on her own for the repairs to her SUV, hopefully her insurance company will work with her… but she has to cope with this collision for the rest of her life, and it was no fault of hers. Hopefully maybe a few rogue riders see this as a wake up call and stop the mad max anarchy riding through city streets on recreational vehicles designed for off road use. But I have a feeling this will happen again and again. Pretty soon insurance companies will be offering uninsured motorcyclist coverage.

Park for free along the sea wall, jump over the wall at the corner for free. If they try to trespass you site article 1 sections 16 & 17 of our state Constitution. We have inalienable rights to the shore. What the town of Narragansett has done since 1971 is unconstitutional. The beach is not an amusement ride, you can’t charge people money just to access it.
