R.I. governor signs law banning purchase, sale of assault-style weapons, as advocates say more work remains
Advertisement The version signed into law bars the manufacture, purchase, sale or transfer of certain firearms 'sometimes referred to as military style weapons, including certain types of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns with a fixed magazine exceeding six rounds or a revolving cylinder,' Get Rhode Map A weekday briefing from veteran Rhode Island reporters, focused on the things that matter most in the Ocean State. Enter Email Sign Up Violators of the law could face up to 10 years in prison or a fine up to $10,000, and forfeiture of the firearm. The law takes effect on July 1, 2026. Advocates on Thursday said their work to ban possession remains a focus, but said the signing of the law is worth celebrating. Gun violence survivors and advocates had pushed for a ban for 13 legislative sessions after all, according to Melissa Carden, executive director of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Gun Violence. Advertisement 'A ban on sales of some of these weapons is certainly an achievement and represents forward momentum. It's progress,' Carden said in her remarks. 'But we know that a true assault weapons ban includes an enforceable ban on possession as well. So the community conversation and our advocacy around assault weapons will continue. For today, let's celebrate the progress we've made.' Executive Director Melissa Carden of the R.I. Coalition Against Gun Violence spoke before Governor Dan McKee signed a law banning the purchase of assault-style weapons, in the Rhode Island State House on June 26, 2025. Lane Turner/Globe Staff Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action, the national group advocating for stronger gun control legislation, praised the law as a 'life saving measure.' 'In a time when so many state houses across this country are feeling gridlocked and more driven by extremism than ever, here in Rhode Island, you're showing the country something different,' Ferrell-Zabala told lawmakers. 'This is what it looks like when leaders come together to put public safety first. This is what it looks like when government works for the people.' With the law in place, Rhode Island joins its neighbors, Massachusetts and Connecticut, in having some form of ban on assault-style weapons on the books: In Rhode Island, McKee has frequently voiced support for a ban, most recently in In February, a survey commissioned by the Rhode Island AFL-CIO found 'It has been a long slog, and for some of those who've been affected by gun violence in particular, it's a long slog because it all brings up a bunch of memories,' said Representative Jason Knight, the Barrington Democrat who sponsored the House version of the legislation. Advertisement Senator Louis P. DiPalma, a Middletown Democrat who sponsored the Senate version, called the law 'probably one of the most transformative, monumental gun safety bills' in the state. 'We're going to see the benefits of this clearly over time,' he said. Asked if he is hopeful lawmakers could eventually address a ban on possession, Knight told the Globe, 'I think we can always make progress.' 'I'm just trying to savor the moment today,' Knight said. 'The legislative process is messy and it's messy by design. I've never seen anybody on a super huge issue get absolutely everything they want. You know, half a loaf is kind of the name of the game sometimes. So for today, this is where we are, and this is very good for Rhode Island.' Carden said the Rhode Island Coalition Against Gun Violence has to take a breath and consider its next steps. 'Next year is an election year so, you know, we definitely have some strategizing to do,' Carden said in an interview. Ferrell-Zabala said Moms Demand Action will also 'keep working at this.' 'We have not lost our fight to continue to do everything we can to protect Rhode Islanders from gun violence,' Ferrell-Zabala said.

New Merseyside police chief constable confirmed
The new chief constable for Merseyside Police has been confirmed as Rob Carden. Chief Constable Carden, who is from Liverpool and is the current chief constable of Cumbria, will replace Serena Kennedy when she retires at the end of August. Merseyside police and crime commissioner (PCC) Emily Spurrell announced two weeks ago that Mr Carden, who has more than 30 years of policing experience, was her preferred choice to take over the role. Mr Carden said it was "a genuine honour and privilege" to return to the organisation he first joined in 1992. The appointment has been approved by the region's Police and Crime Panel. Mr Carden, who is married with three sons, said he was "thrilled" to take on the role. "My father served Merseyside Police for over 33 years and I was extremely proud to follow in his footsteps when I joined the organisation in 1992," he said. "To now be returning to the organisation as chief constable and to lead the organisation which has been such a big part of my family is a genuine honour and privilege. "Merseyside Police is already an outstanding organisation which is rightly recognised as one of the best police services in the country. "I am committed to building on Serena's legacy and ensuring I lead a workforce which takes pride in delivering an excellent service to our communities, protecting those who are vulnerable, keeping our streets safe and ensuring offenders face justice." Ms Spurrell said Mr Carden had "exceptional experience", having served for 20 years with Merseyside Police before becoming deputy chief constable, and subsequently chief constable, for Cumbria Police. "Mr Carden fully understands the unique challenge of policing our region," she said. "He has the leadership experience and clear strategic thinking needed to maintain the exceptional reputation and standards of Merseyside Police." Chief Constable Serena Kennedy KPM said she was "delighted". She said Mr Carden was a "respected leader" who, as assistant chief constable, had managed the police response to the Covid pandemic. Ms Kennedy added that he had been gold commander for "numerous events and incidents, including the terrorist incident at Liverpool Women's Hospital" in 2021. "I know he is passionate about the force and providing the people of Merseyside with a first-class police service and I wish him every success for the future," she said. Mr Carden will be appointed chief constable for a period of five years. Listen to the best of BBC Radio Merseyside on Sounds and follow BBC Merseyside on Facebook, X, and Instagram.

D'Arcy Carden on her ‘dream come true' joining ‘The Handmaid's Tale' and Phoebe's ‘different Aunt energy'

Generate Key Takeaways WARNING: The following story contains spoilers for the seventh episode of The Handmaid's Tale's sixth and final season, streaming now on Hulu. D'Arcy Carden has been critically beloved for her comedic work, most notably on The Good Place (for which she also nabbed an Emmy nomination), and most recently on both A Man on the Inside and Nobody Wants This. But all the while she has been a "gigantic fan" of one of the most serious dramas on television: The Handmaid's Tale. Her personal and professional worlds finally collided in the sixth and final season of the Hulu series, when she got a call to play Phoebe, an Aunt who works alongside Lydia (Ann Dowd) while secretly aiding Mayday. More from GoldDerby "I definitely wouldn't have dreamed of getting to play a character like Phoebe," Carden tells Gold Derby about stepping into the world of dystopian drama for its final few episodes. "It's such phenomenal storytelling and character development, and I'm just always blown away by the show. It's such an opportunity, when you get a character like this on a show, not to waste it." Carden and Phoebe are introduced in the seventh episode of the final season, titled "Shattered." She gets to be the one to deliver the news to Lydia that Janine (Madeline Brewer) did not die during the destruction at Jezebel's but has been instead taken to be a handmaid once again. It is a short scene, but it ends up serving to showcase Phoebe's ability to change her energy depending on who she is around. The next time we see her, she distracts a guard so she can safely extract June (Elisabeth Moss) and Moira (Samira Wiley) from the trunk of Lawrence's (Bradley Whitford) car, proving where her allegiance really lies. "You think she's one thing and then pretty quickly you realize she's something else. I love a twist: I love watching a twist, I love being a part of a twist. I do feel like Phoebe has a different Aunt energy than maybe the Aunts we're used to, so there is a little bit of, 'Who is this?' But I didn't want to give it all away, obviously, in the first scene," Carden says. "I had a point of view of what I thought Phoebe was, but I know she's a piece of a huge puzzle." Carden admits she didn't know how she would fit into that puzzle at all when she first signed onto the show. "They just said, 'Handmaid's is coming your way.' And I said, 'That's gonna be a big yeah.'" SEE The Handmaid's Tale star Yvonne Strahovski on that Serena and June scene: 'The biggest thing is that question of forgiveness' Although she was "so down" for whatever the show was going to throw at her, the idea that Phoebe has so many layers that get revealed so fast ended up being part of the excitement of the role for the actress. "I never want the twist to come and the audience to go, 'What? Where did that come from?' But also, you don't want to telegraph anything. So it's this really thin little line to walk, and I feel like it was all in the script. But yeah, I wanted that moment to have some tension," she says. The Handmaid's Tale is also a show that often relies on seeing the tensest, most emotional moments tightly on its performers' faces, and the reveal that Phoebe is going to help June and Moira is no different. Carden admits these are shots that can come with extra pressure, and the key can be simply not thinking about the shot size or camera placement. "Sometimes I find if I'm too aware of what my face is doing in a close-up, I'm in a different place; I'm not in the character. So almost treating the close-up like it's like it's not a close-up is where I was at," she explains. Over the course of "Shattered," it is revealed that one of Phoebe's greatest attributes is how quickly she can react in a moment to bend the situation to what she needs it to be. It comes in handy in how she gets rid of the guard, where she hides June and Moira, and even how she distracts Lydia when she gets caught coming back from hiding June and Moira. And, most likely, it will be even more important as the revolution further takes shape. "It really was true to who she is, and pre- all this stuff, was something that she was good at,' Carden says. 'Her talent is to be able to think on her feet and lie.' Carden confirms that Phoebe is not lying to June and Moira when she talks of coordinating the handmaids and working with the Marthas on the revolution, though. "They've trusted and been burned too many times, and you could feel that their guard is up," Carden says. "This is a complicated character, so I'm definitely, in this first episode, trying to make them feel like, 'You can trust me, for sure. I am one of you.' And as the show progresses, you'll feel their guards drop a little bit with Phoebe." SEE The Handmaid's Tale star Samira Wiley on Moira 'ending her trauma in Gilead' Although Carden knew "nothing" about Phoebe when signing on for this final run of The Handmaid's Tale, she shares that "as I got more and more information about what I was going to be doing this season, to get to be a part of this thing that I — a fan — have been waiting for for six seasons, is a dream come true." That includes stunt work, but also simply working with this team of writers and actors who she has been so awed by for five previous seasons. "I love Ann Dowd, and I love that Phoebe is just an annoying pest to her. I love the way she played that. I felt it from the very first scene we did. She is such a good actor, it is insane. She actually changed my life, and I told her that a lot. Every day I would hold her hand and be like, 'Ann, you're changing my life. You are making me a better actor. I love you. I worship you. You're changing my life.' And she'd be like, 'Darling, no. Oh, darling, no,'" Carden says. For years, Carden found herself wondering what it was like to be on set at The Handmaid's Tale — "to play these horrific situations and not take that home with you or not have to do method acting," she says. When she finally got to see the answer for herself firsthand, she found it was really about keeping it light on set after "cut" was called. "This is a cast of fantastic, master actors that leave it on set. And I even mean, leave it in the scene. Not to say there's anything good, bad, wrong, whatever with any sort of method of acting. But it does make for a very enjoyable day to be able to chitchat and goof around and dance and sing and play with your castmates, and then, when it's time, drop into what you've got to drop into," Carden says. "To get to work with these actors that are like, 'Oh, we're acting. When it's time to act, we're gonna act. And there's nothing embarrassing about that,' it was just thrilling. It's always fun when you get to a job that reminds you why you got into this in the first place or why this was your dream in the first place. And this set definitely reminded me of that every single day. It really did change my actor DNA." The Handmaid's Tale's sixth and final season streams new episodes Tuesdays on Hulu.
