Audis are dangerous cars. Ban them now, because one is not acceptable.

General Discussion / CCW people turn them in!
« on: April 10, 2025, 06:13:59 PM »
that's the scene setter for this article  :grrr: people that own and carry firearms are the problem!
https://www.kitv.com/news/department-of-law-enforcement-hopes-to-get-hundreds-of-guns-off-the-streets-through-buyback/article_e2babc92-96d9-48e8-91bc-c6315af4bec5.html

More than 2,000 people filed for a license to carry a concealed firearm in 2024.

That's according to a first-ever statewide report from the Hawaii Attorney General.

With a notable rise in gun violence in the islands, efforts are intensifying to reclaim firearms through a buyback program.

But an increase in gun violence is prompting the state Department of Law Enforcement to double down on programs to take back firearms.

General Discussion / Don't be a hero! Just give it to them!
« on: April 09, 2025, 06:40:04 PM »
While our legislators are busy disarming the law abiding, we are reminded to always be the victim, not a hero! Just give them your hard earned money! Shower criminals with ALOHA!

https://www.khon2.com/hawaii-crime/gunpoint-robberies-on-oahu-dont-be-a-hero/

“Whenever we hear about armed robbery and stuff, we always tell people, ‘Don’t be a hero. Your life is not worth it,” said Retail Merchants of Hawaii president Tina Yamaki. “Your adrenaline is going. We don’t want anybody to be shot. You know, a stray bullet hitting another customer or our worker. We just want it to be safe for everybody.”

Safe for everybody? Did this message get to the criminal holding the gun? I doubt he/she has taken an HPD approved safety class prior to legally acquiring the gun and registering it. How do we know that the criminal won't shoot after they got the money Tina?

Political Discussion / mandatory this and that...
« on: April 05, 2025, 11:59:26 AM »
Its a tragedy no doubt and I sympathize but this is a common cycle of where individuals or parents fail to change behavior and they now want to make issues like wearing a helmet a law.
At the same time, parents don't realize that the State is encroaching on their right and responsibilities as a parent. Technically, this person is an adult at his time of passing so it was his choice to accept risk.

Tyler, 19, got the e-bike about two years ago, about the time he was graduating from Waianae High School.

“It was his transportation,” his mom, Amalia Ildefonso, said.

“Yeah, it was his transportation because he didn’t have a driver’s license,” his dad added.

Guillermo said he was concerned about his son’s safety on the bike.

“I told him to ride safe, and always wear a helmet,” he said.

Tyler’s parents want all e-bike riders to wear a helmet.

“We really encourage them to always have a helmet on because I believe if my son was wearing his helmet, he would have had a chance of being here today,” said Ildefonso.

“Educate your kid on the bike,” said Guillermo. “I call it a silent killer because it doesn’t make any noise. And please, wear a helmet. Please.”

General Discussion / outrage at Pearl City school over "death list"
« on: March 29, 2025, 12:04:23 PM »
https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/03/29/death-list-note-elementary-prompts-concerns/

An alleged “death list” at a public elementary school has prompted concerns from parents and teachers who say the administration has been slow to act.

A former Pearl Ridge Elementary teacher and parent said she found a shocking handwritten note on the floor in her classroom on Feb. 6 and does not want to be identified.

“On this note, it was labeled as a ‘death list’ and there were four students within the classroom on this death list, and also another staff member,” she said.

She said the note included the name of the student who allegedly wrote it.

“My heart started racing. I started sweating and immediately became concerned for those on the list and then my second reaction was concern for the student who had written it,” she said.

An investigation that day revealed a pocket knife with a 3-inch blade in the student’s backpack, said the teacher who saw the knife. The former teacher said the student got an apparent two-day suspension and she’s upset the principal did not initially inform parents especially those whose kids were on the “death list.”

General Discussion / Chris #immavet Marvin for Everytown for Guns
« on: March 02, 2025, 12:48:28 PM »
Without knowing what firearm(s) whether legal or not, he is blaming the entire law-abiding 2a community for this crime. What a jackass.
https://www.khon2.com/local-news/oahu-teen-still-in-critical-condition-after-drive-by-kapolei-shooting/

The shooting happened on a busy public road and officials said more needs to be done to curb local gun violence.

Advocates against gun violence said a 2022 Supreme Court decision which ruled the right to self-defense includes carrying a loaded gun has trickled down to a troubling trend in the Islands.
Ala Moana shooting raises questions over Hawaiʻi’s sensitive places law

“In Hawaii, we’ve seen an almost 300% increase in permits to purchase firearms, which obviously means that we’ve seen that many more guns being legally brought onto the streets in Hawaii,” said Chris Marvin of Everytown for Gun Safety. “More guns equals more gun violence and we are seeing that play out on this island right now.”

Political Discussion / big fat pay raises for everyone!
« on: February 10, 2025, 07:03:25 PM »
https://www.khon2.com/local-news/state-officials-could-see-big-pay-raises-soon/

Currently, Gov. Green’s salary is $189,480; and would increase 32% to $250,116 in 2026, and then Governor’s would see a 4% increase over the next five years through 2031.

He wouldn’t be the highest paid person in the state though.

The Chief Justice of Hawaii currently makes $248,124, and would increase 32% to $327,528, and then a 4% increase over the next five years through 2031.
