Opposition rises over proposed Rhode Island gun control meaures

On Tuesday, The Providence Journal reported:

At the House Judiciary Committee hearing, gun-rights advocates came out in overwhelming numbers. They were the majority of some 160 who signed up to testify in a hearing that was expected to go late into the night. (Hundreds more marked their names down as opposed to many — if not all — the bills on the agenda, but did not intend to testify.)
