Guys lets not bash HRA. HRA personnel are volunteers. The money's sent to HRA goes to fund activities to help lobby for our rights locally.
If you think HRA can do more, volunteer and ask how you can help make HRA stronger.
Again no one is bashing on HRA. If I had a minute in the day I would Brother! Look i think its ridiculous that us asking that the website be updated a little sooner than 2013 is considered bashing!? There are a total of 20 Directors/ Officers/ Committee Chairs. Don't make excuses.
I do appreciate your view on the following bills!
Not sure how you make the jump from driving drunk to having your firearms taken away? Now yes if you commit a crime in another state that if committed in Hawaii you would have lost your rights to own guns then you can bet they will pull your firearms! Again the RAP back program is used for many reason its not just a gun bill! I understand we have to be very careful and very wary of new gun bills but what we can't do is just hold up signs every time a bill comes hits the floor... just because we think its a slippery slope! Their putting freakin Liberians on the RAP back program seems to me it would be kinda foolish to take a stand on a bill that seems at least face value to be a good bill! As for the PII no matter the assurance you know what can happened. Hell I work for the US Dept. of State and if they can't keep our PII safe you can bet local gov't organizations def can't lol!
At the end of the day no matter how you feel about the bill at least we are talking about them and are informed! Thats all i ask .....life gets busy and yes i need someone to hold my hand and send me alerts when firearms bills are being voted on! I know i should be proactive and check all the time but thats life and thats why we have a HRA and the other numerous great things they do! They are doing a very good job! All i ask is that they keep their eye on the one of the most important reason for being an organization and let their members know how they feel about said bills and what should be done!
