Editorial Team

Who We Are

rigunlaws.com is produced by a team of legal researchers and policy analysts who specialize in Rhode Island firearms law. Our work spans statutory analysis, court decision monitoring, agency guidance review, and regulatory tracking.

We do not accept bylines because our editorial identity is collective and institutional rather than individual. Every page reflects the team's combined review process, not a single author's judgment.

Our Credentials

  • Specialized research in Rhode Island statutory law and administrative regulations
  • Active monitoring of Second Amendment litigation in federal and state courts
  • Direct reading of enrolled bill text, compiled statutes, and agency guidance documents
  • Experience translating legal documents into plain language while preserving precision

Editorial Independence

rigunlaws.com is editorially independent. We are not affiliated with any advocacy organization, political party, government agency, or commercial firearms interest. We do not accept payment to alter, promote, or suppress content.

When we cover pending litigation, we present the legal posture of the case without endorsing a legal or political outcome. When we cover proposed legislation, we describe what the bill says and its current status, without advocating for or against passage.

Review Process

Every article on rigunlaws.com goes through a multi-step editorial process before publication:

  1. Legal research — Locating and reading the primary source (statute, court opinion, regulation, agency guidance)
  2. Claim verification — Verifying each factual and legal claim against the primary source, including statute text, penalty ranges, procedural requirements, and effective dates
  3. Agency cross-check — For procedural articles, verifying the described process against the relevant agency's current application materials
  4. Editorial review — Plain-language review for accuracy, completeness, and clarity
  5. Source citation — Every primary source is cited and linked where available

After publication, articles are reviewed quarterly and whenever our monitoring system detects a change to the underlying law or agency guidance.

Corrections

When we make an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction in the article's revision history. To report an error, email corrections@rigunlaws.com. Include the page URL, the specific claim you believe is incorrect, and the primary source that contradicts it.
