Re: 80% gets you 10 years in Rhode Island
It's actually more complicated than that, kind of Byzantine; in SOME areas (like controlling air traffic) the Feds have taken the field and the states have no role. In other areas, authority is co-extensive, and the feds will restrict you and the states can restrict you further.
The Feds make weed illegal, so when the states say it's legal, it's still illegal. But where the Feds say (for example) that you can obtain rounds for your M-203 grenade launcher if you pay the tax, but your state outlaws all bombs, then you can't have bombs in your state.
There's another category, where Federal law explicitly says that states can't bar gay "marriage" and they can't legislate separate white & colored drinking fountains.
Bottom line, states ban all kinds of gun stuff that the Feds permit. Try and buy an AR-15 or some hollowpoints in NJ or NY.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Re: 80% gets you 10 years in Rhode Island
The govt makes the rules, so with guns, they define things the way the edge of quicksand is defined. You think you're on safe ground, right up until you're ankle-deep and sinking.
A gun can be a partially-finished frame or receiver, under some definitions at the state and local levels. Even after you "destroy it", it's still deemed a firearm if it's "readily restorable" by a master gunsmith at ATF using $500K worth of machinery and a warehouse of replacement parts. Look at some the tricks they pulled to declare that some upper receivers were firearms, after they built a frame to hold them and added some MG conversion parts (which are themselves defined as machineguns, so in effect ATF took an upper, added a machinegun to it from their spare parts inventory, then pretended to be amazed that they had a machinegun on the bench.)
When it comes to guns, the govt likes to put some hidden reefs in your safe harbor. I remember the open bolt MAC, the Streetsweeper, the Akins Accelerator, the bump stock, the pistol brace (redefinitions coming soon). All perfectly legal until they became felonies. The feds don't do this to plumbers or car buffs or dog fanciers, just the gun guys.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com
