The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island, leaving in place the state’s 2022 ban on large-capacity ammunition magazines. The decision marks a significant victory for gun safety advocates and Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Neronha, who defended the law in court. “My Office has always fought to ensure that we have common-sense gun laws on the books to keep Rhode Islanders safe, and today’s Supreme Court decision allows us to continue that mission without interruption,” Neronha said in a statement. Rhode Island’s law prohibits the possession of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Residents who owned such devices were given six months to either modify, surrender, transfer, or sell them. Four gun owners and a firearms retailer sued, claiming the law violated the Second and Fifth Amendments. Lower courts upheld the law, and the justices’ refusal to review the case effectively ends the legal challenge. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled the law likely passes constitutional scrutiny, emphasizing its alignment with public safety goals. Critics, however, argued the ban infringes on fundamental rights and improperly confiscates legally acquired property. In defending the law, the state highlighted how limiting magazine capacity can slow shooters during violent attacks, potentially saving lives. Neronha cited the over 300 cases his office charged last year involving illegal high-capacity magazines as proof the law is working. “As the Rhode Island General Assembly prepares to vote on the assault weapons ban, it is my hope that this decision inspires our leadership to act boldly. One life lost to gun violence is one too many,” he said. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch indicated they would have heard the case, but the court ultimately issued a one-line order denying review. #scotus #peterneronha #secondamemdment #guncontrol #newportbuzz

As beach season kicks off on Aquidneck Island, swi As beach season kicks off on Aquidneck Island, swimmers are reminded to stay vigilant for rip currents—fast-moving channels of water that can pull even strong swimmers away from shore in seconds. These powerful currents are most commonly found at Easton’s Beach (1st Beach) and Sachuest Beach (2nd Beach), where wave conditions and coastal features create prime conditions for their formation. According to the U.S. Lifesaving Association, rip currents are the leading surf hazard nationwide, responsible for more than 100 deaths each year—more than the combined toll of shark attacks, lightning strikes, and tornadoes. They account for at least 80% of lifeguard rescues. Rip currents can move at speeds up to 8 feet per second and often develop near sandbars, jetties, and piers. They’re not always easy to spot, but swimmers can look for: * Gaps in breaking waves * Narrow channels of churning, choppy water * Lines of foam or debris heading out to sea Know What to Do: * Stick to beaches with lifeguards on duty. * Check NOAA’s daily surf zone forecasts. If caught in a rip current: * Don’t panic or fight the current. * Swim parallel to the beach until you’re out of the flow. * Float or tread water if needed, and wave for help. Staying informed and alert is key to enjoying a safe day at the beach. #newportri #newportbuzz #ripcurrent
