does HB2744 redefine "firearms" such that all AR
upper receivers are now a firearm (requiring registration, etc)?
according to HB2744 SD2:
"Firearm receiver" means the part of a firearm that provides housing for the firearm's internal components, including a hammer,
bolt, breechblock, action,
or firing mechanism.
AR upper receiver houses the bolt, "or" means that any one of those characteristics counts to make it so.
if this gets signed into law, could be AR upper receivers can only be purchased through FFL? real sneaky. I know this is similar to the ATF conundrum, but is Karl Rhoads taking advantage of that to instantly criminalize every single law-abiding Hawaii AR owner who now has an unregistered "firearm"?

WTF!
