And the NRA-ILA....crickets.

The NRA is dead to most of the under 50 crowd. The under 50 is FPC (Stack up or Fuck off/Lawsuit printer go brrrr)  and GOA. The NRA is now just another behemoth lobbying group that takes most of the $ for its governing board. Wayne didn't go poor "fighting for our rights"....

This is an interesting topic.  I know 2A guys who voted for Ige, Green, Caldwell, and Rick.  I never asked them their stance on other issues, so maybe despite all being anti 2a, they aren't a single issue voter.  And almost all the HI people I know who moved to Vegas voted blue again. Now for this, IDK what the GOP candidate was like, but I'm going to assume they brought their  HI problems with them to NV. People in Vegas often hate CA people, but HI is no different.

Back to 2A,  IMO if a politician is willing to violate the 2A, what other rights will they violate?  We saw Ige violate peoples other rights and Rick too during covid.

I'm a single issue voter. If they're not pro 2a, then they won't get my vote. And if all are anti 2A, then it's a shit sandwitch and i'll pick the lesser of the evils.

Also the party usually dictates this, but not all the time. Which is why one has to do their own research. A few years ago an anti 2a ran as GOP and won, but people there voted based on party.  Somewhere in NV, I forgot what county. The candidate admitted to tricking the voters when he ran as GOP.

Here's a recent example: Rep Kila is DNC, but he presented a stand your ground bill this year.  Last year, he voted against the sensitive places bills.  I asked him why and he said because my people wanted his vote to go that way.  He said he listens to what his people want him to do and dont' automatically vote down party lines.

Kevin McDonald who ran as DNC against Comrade Karl is pro 2A. He showed up to the floor vote with HIFICO, the one where Chief Ballard and 11 other HPD brass showed up to, to get the mag ban passed.  He also was arrested while exercising his 1A right during covid.

Speaking of Kila... I got  a response from him for my email today asking to oppose SB3196

"Aloha ______,

Thank you for your email. I will more than likely vote, NO on the measure, here, in the house chamber.

Thank you for your email.

Put it on hold.

I will reword to fit Hi will not comply if you won't use the correct grammar. Right now it doesn't make sense.

Might not bother other people but it will bother people who are Hawaiian and speak 'ōlelo Hawai'i.

I would also recommend changing the colors to reflect the hae Hawai'i (Hawaiian flag). The blue is royal, I believe. The Maoli flag is not a real flag.

Okie dokie

Made some updates

Thoughts before it goes to the printer today. Colors are from the maoli flag

OK so re the design...

Somebody get me the correct verbage and I'll change it to make it all work right. Sometimes translations get lost in the translation

I can get stickers made and have all the proceeds go to HifiCo as they are the big push on this and other 2A stuff here

Time to resurrect this I guess

banning pistols with only one feature, you would be eliminating firearms which are used by Olympic athletes, such as the Benelli MP 95E and Hammerli 280, as they have magazines outside of the grip.

Threaded barrels are used for items such as compensators to help in the control of the firearm. Compensators, which thread onto the muzzle of a barrel, do not alter the sound, but control the muzzle blast and directing energy (muzzle flip) to keep the firearm on the target, thus making it actually safer to use.

Semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm is a catch all which would essentially ban all Glock type pistols, as the G18 is an automatic version of the Glock 17; and the Beretta Model 92 has the Selene Special as an automatic version.

...
There is no legitimate reason to ban steel targets.
There is no chronic problem.

You said legitimate.... like they care?

Look at Chief Logan and HPD dragging their feet on the rule changes, "approval" of instructors, "approval" of CCW permits (which shouldn't be required but don't start a whole rant here) and so on. So legitimate reasons are irrelevant to them. We are insignificant to them and every opportunity to step on our rights they get, they will take it.

General Discussion / Re: 2023 AG's Report is out
« on: June 22, 2023, 03:26:36 PM »
Good to know that HPD lies to the AG office. They stated that only 6 people applied and 3 approved. Compare that with every other county. and Logans own statements of over 600 applicants back in December.

Hawaii County - 90 apps, 89 approved, 1.1% denial rate
Honolulu County - 6 apps, 3 approved, 50% denial rate
Maui County - 75 apps, 56 approved, 25.3% denial rate
Kaua'i County - 65 apps, 65 approved, 0% denial rate

How is it that Oahu with the largest population base only had 6 applications in 2022?  ???

Both registrations and permit numbers are dropping from the previous 2 years, with 2020 being an all time high. Also half the registrations are from imports from out of state

https://ag.hawaii.gov/cpja/files/2023/06/Firearm-Registrations-in-Hawaii-2022.pdf

So 3 people on Oahu were issued their CCW in 2022, 1 was Kit n Gun's guy as he mentioned it a lot on his social media.  Wonder who the other 2 were?

Good to know the states AG is publishing fraudulent data. Someone should be charged with perjury. isn't the act of submitting the application part of the "process"?
...............................................................................

https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2022-12-30/honolulu-police-department-process-concealed-carry-permits

The Honolulu Police Department was the last to begin issuing permits. Chief Joe Logan signed the first license on Wednesday. He said the City and County of Honolulu still has about 600 applications awaiting processing.

"As a police chief, it's not something I thought I would have to do when I applied for this position a year and a half ago. But the Supreme Court has stated that we in Hawaiʻi, along with six other states, will do this. And so we are there," he said.

"It took a few more months than I anticipated. I have several other applications pending a final review. And I will sign those as they become prepared and cross my desk. Of the 600, we're looking at right now at less than 10 that I have fully completed and I'm working to approve," Logan said.

General Discussion / Standard legislation response
« on: February 23, 2023, 12:21:10 PM »
I'm so tired of these asshat clowns we have that it seems that writing anything which is thoughtful, informative or educational to them is usesless. As such i will just send a standard response to every bill whether opposed or supportive. They don't read them anyways.
.......................................
It is painfully and blatantly obvious that the Legislators, Governor, Lt. Governor, Mayors, Police Chiefs and other “government officials” have zero intent to protect and uphold the rights of the citizens of Hawaii as outlined in both the Federal and State Constitutions regarding firearms. We are all tired of holding our breath waiting for you to uphold your sworn duty. You don’t care, and never will. You spread misinformation, spin half-truths and make up “facts” to suit your own purposes. I would dare to find but few of you who can tell the difference between a clip or magazine, bullet or cartridge, semi-automatic or automatic. It may behoove you to actually learn something about firearms and even use one before you make laws and regulations surrounding them. Take the requisite firearms training class to see what  is required of those who wish to own and/or carry firearms in this state. I am confident that most of the local firearms instructors in Hawaii would be happy to give any of you a lesson in the use of them. You may learn something.

The plain verbiage of the 2nd Amendment of the United States and Article 1, Section 17 of the State of Hawaii Constitution is clear. SHALL NOT is a legal term of which it seems none of you have the want, intent or fortitude to uphold. Nowhere does it mention in the respective Constitutions that these can be set aside due to feelings or in matters of sensitivity, inclusion, diversity, etc.. Please go read the NYSRPA v Bruen response for details.
All of you have abdicated your duty to the people of Hawaii by failing uphold your oath of office. I have included the appropriate text for you. Perhaps you may need to read these sections again to refresh your collective memories. But then again, you have no interest in actually representing your constituents. ALL your constituents, even the ones you disagree with.

HAWAII CONSTITUTION
OATH OF OFFICE
Article XVII, Section 4.  All eligible public officers, before entering upon the duties of their respective offices, shall take and subscribe to the following oath or affirmation:  "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Hawaii, and that I will faithfully discharge my duties as ........................ to the best of my ability."  As used in this section, "eligible public officers" means the governor, the lieutenant governor, the members of both houses of the legislature, the members of the board of education, the members of the national guard, State or county employees who possess police powers, district court judges, and all those whose appointment requires the consent of the senate. [Ren and am Const Con 1978 and election Nov 7, 1978; am SB 1440 (1992) and election Nov 3, 1992]

RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
Article I, Section 17.  A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. [Ren Const Con 1978 and election Nov 7, 1978]

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION – BILL OF RIGHTS
RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
Amendment II. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

DEFINITIONS
Shall: Shall is an imperative command, usually indicating that certain actions are mandatory, and not permissive. This contrasts with the word “may,” which is generally used to indicate a permissive provision, ordinarily implying some degree of discretion.
May: The word “may” is an expression of possibility, a permissive choice to act or not, and ordinarily implies some degree of discretion. This contrasts with the word “shall,” which is generally used to indicate a mandatory provision.

The meaning of the phrase "well-regulated" in the 2nd amendment
From: Brian T. Halonen <halonen@csd.uwm.edu>
The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations."
1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world."
1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial."
1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor."
1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding."
1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city."
The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.
