Quote:
On April 8, 2026, Rhode Island state Rep. Teresa Tanzi, a Democrat, made a series of anti-gun remarks as she expressed her support for efforts to repeal a legislative grandfather clause and use “police power” to force AR-15 owners to dispose of their weapons. Reports first released in March detailed efforts by Rhode Island Democrats within the state’s legislature to remove the grandfather clause that was included in the “assault weapons” ban it passed last year.

This is known as "the camel getting his nose under the tent"

Quote:
"Camel's nose under the tent" is a metaphor describing a situation where permitting a small, seemingly innocuous act will lead to larger, more serious, and undesirable consequences.  It illustrates the concept of incremental encroachment, where an initial minor concession establishes a precedent that facilitates a total takeover.
The phrase originates from an Arabian fable (or proverb) where a camel, seeking warmth, asks only to insert its nose into a Bedouin's tent.  Once allowed in, the camel progressively demands entry for its head, neck, and eventually its entire body, displacing the owner from the shelter.

Historical Context: The image entered the English language in the mid-19th century, with an early printed version appearing in 1858 involving an Arab miller and a camel.

Modern Usage: It is frequently invoked in political, legal, and business rhetoric as a warning against the "slippery slope," such as opposing legislation that might expand government control or resisting minor policy changes that could lead to total institutional shift.

Related Concepts: Similar idioms include "Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile" and the Danish expression "When you give the Devil a little finger, he takes the whole hand."

RI State Rep: Banning AR-15s Not Enough; We Should Use ‘Police Power’ to Ensure Owners Dispose of Them

In some areas this is called, Cutting the pie.

Quote:
Cutting the pie (or slicing the pie) is a tactical maneuver used in close-quarters battle (CQB) and law enforcement to safely clear corners, doorways, or rooms by gradually exposing the minimum amount of one's body to potential threats.

The technique involves stepping back from the corner or door frame and then panning the weapon and视线 in a slow, deliberate arc around the obstacle.  This method ensures that the operator only reveals a small segment of their position at a time, allowing them to identify and engage targets before fully exposing themselves to the entire field of fire.

Key aspects of the tactic include:

Minimizing Exposure: By moving in small increments, the operator reduces the target area available to an enemy waiting on the other side.

Sequential Clearing: The area is cleared in "slices" or wedges, engaging the first visible threat (usually the one farthest to the right for a right-handed shooter) before moving further into the room.

Tactical Advantage: It leverages the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to disrupt an opponent's reaction time by controlling the angle of approach.

While the phrase "cut the pie" can also refer idiomatically to dividing resources or sharing expenses equally in non-tactical contexts, its primary meaning in military, police, and gaming communities refers to this corner-clearing technique.


This was their main intention, to completely outlaw the AR15 and they are trying to do that in segments of smaller fights instead of one large fight.
