Gov. Gina Raimondo moved to keep attention focused on gun violence Monday, signing an executive order aimed at disarming potentially unsafe residents and making Rhode Island the first state to act on gun policy since a gunman shot and killed 17 people at a Florida high school earlier this month.
Gov. Gina Raimondo, among a crowd of gun control advocates, signed an executive order this week focusing on removing guns from some in so-called "red flag" cases. The group will develop recommendations to address gun violence and support Rhode Island's efforts in the new multi-state gun-safety coalition.
Just such legislation has been introduced in the General Assembly and is co-sponsored by fellow Democrat House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello. "We can not wait a minute longer for Washington to take action to prevent gun violence". Nine times. So, I can understand where the question comes from: "'Mom, what are you going to do?'"
The new policy will direct police to use whatever legal means are available to take guns away from people who are deemed risky, based on tips from the public.
The executive order directs law enforcement agencies to consider all red flags, including recent threats of violence made in person, in videos and on social media.

He added that we must also focus on the relation between "cinema actresses" and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. He is the second politician after Amar Singh to speak about Sridevi's death in a sensational language.
Rhode Island's new policy also launches a public awareness campaign about warning signs of violence and creates a gun safety working group. This is policy. So essentially what I've said is I need to do everything within my authority to keep Rhode Islanders safe.
Raimondo was joined by police chiefs from across Rhode Island, as well as parents and students, as she signed the order at Warwick City Hall.
Five states - Connecticut, California, Washington, Oregon and IN - have taken similar action on potential red flags IN recent years, but Rhode Island is the first to do so since the deadly school shooting IN Parkland, Florida, earlier this month. "What is a red flag?"
The real action will come in the General Assembly, which makes the laws. "The executive order I signed today is an immediate step we can take to make residents safer". Gun-rights advocates like the National Rifle Association, however, argue that allowing a judge to take away someone's firearms could be a violation of the second amendment. Rick Scott has proposed measures to ensure that mentally ill or violent people from purchasing guns.
On Monday Cranston Mayor and governor candidate Allan Fung, who has been silent on gun issues so far this year, told WPRI he thought the red flag bill was "too broad".
