Hello Hawaii Gun Owners,
I think we all agree that Criminals, Crazy People and Children shouldn't have guns.
(but they do)

We all know that Criminals don't get NICS checks (and they DON'T get guns at "gunshows")
They get them the same way as all their illegally obtained purchases (drugs, women, cars, stolen goods), on the black market.

So they already broke the law when they acquired that stolen firearm.

Why don't we prosecute them when they get caught with that stolen firearm?

That is a question we should ask every time we get the chance. 

Speaking of background checks, did you know that mental adjudications are NOT part of the NICS check?
(they SHOULD be)
That is how Crazy People get guns...

With that said,
read what is below, then let me know what you think.

(please no personal attacks, this is for discussion only)

Thank you,
Paul

House Bill 1902  prohibits the manufacture, possession, sale, barter, trade, gift, transfer, or acquisition of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds. Possession of magazines acquired prior to the ban will remain legal, but will be prohibited from any transfer other than inheritance.
HB 1902 was passed with amendments by the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 30 and will soon be eligible for a vote on the Senate floor.
2/27/2020   H   Passed Third Reading as amended in HD 2 with Representative(s) Hashimoto, Kitagawa, McKelvey voting aye with reservations; Representative(s) Aquino, Cullen, DeCoite, Eli, Gates, Har, D. Kobayashi, Kong, Matsumoto, McDermott, Okimoto, Quinlan, Say, Tokioka, Ward, Yamane voting no (16) and Representative(s) Cabanilla Arakawa excused (1). Transmitted to Senate.
6/30/2020   S   The committee(s) on JDC recommend(s) that the measure be PASSED, WITH AMENDMENTS. The votes in JDC were as follows: 4 Aye(s): Senator(s) K. Rhoads, J.Keohokalole, Kim; Aye(s) with reservations: Senator(s) Gabbard ; 1 No(es): Senator(s) Fevella; and 0 Excused: none.




House Bill 2744 places severe restrictions on certain firearm parts in an effort to ban home built firearms.  The language is vague and overly broad as to what can subject a person to felony penalties. It fails to recognize that prohibited persons cannot lawfully possess any firearm, whether home built or produced by a licensed manufacturer. Additionally, the bill uses your tax dollars to create a commission to research “gun violence.” While the NRA does not oppose objective research, this is likely to produce biased advocacy instead of sound science.

There are 4 new restrictive firearms bill being considered in Hawaii, Wednesday June 24 and Thursday June 25.

I read MOST of your posts, and MOST of you are just "keyboard warriors" (completely impotent).

How many of YOU did something about the poor "reservation system" at the KHSC (besides just "preach to the choir")?

I DID.


Now is YOUR chance to "put your balls where your fingers are" (to corrupt a common term), AND DO SOMETHING!

First, read this:
Despite pressing issues the state is facing surrounding the COVID-19 crisis, lawmakers are continuing the assault on our Second Amendment Freedoms, scheduling additional anti-gun bills for a hearing this week. The House Pubic Safety and Judiciary Committees are holding a joint hearing on Wednesday, June 24 to hear SB 2635 and SB 3054.  Additionally as reported, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be considering HB 1902 and HB 2744 on Thursday, June 25.  The Capitol is closed to the public at this time so the committees will only be accepting written testimony.  It's crucial that you contact the committee members and submit testimony directly to the Committee through the legislative website by clicking here to urge their opposition to these gun control measures! 

Wednesday, June 24 3:00 p.m.
Joint Hearing of the House Public Safety, Veterans and Military Affairs and the House Judiciary Committee:

Senate Bill 2635 SD 2 requires anyone wishing to buy ammunition to provide proof of firearm registration for the particular caliber of purchase. The owner of a firearm may also designate an alternate person who, after fingerprinting and a background check, will be issued a permit to purchase ammunition for that firearm. In the case of firearms capable of firing multiple calibers, the bill leaves the decision to include any additional calibers on the permit up to the discretion of the police, with no outlined process for appeal.

Senate Bill 3054 SD 2 requires individuals to provide notice of permanent removal of a firearm outside the state with the registering county within five days. A penalty of $250 per firearm will be assessed for non-compliance. 


Thursday, June 25 10:00 a.m.
Senate Judiciary Committee:

House Bill 1902  prohibits the manufacture, possession, sale, barter, trade, gift, transfer, or acquisition of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds. Possession of magazines acquired prior to the ban will remain legal, but will be prohibited from any transfer other than inheritance. 

House Bill 2744 places severe restrictions on certain firearm parts in an effort to ban home built firearms.  The language is vague and overly broad as to what can subject a person to felony penalties. It fails to recognize that prohibited persons already cannot lawfully possess any firearm, whether home built or produced by a licensed manufacturer.

Formulate a response, then:

Send written testimony here:
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/home.aspx

You need to register to send testimony,
If you haven't already, you ARE the example that I used above (impotent)

Then type in
SB2635
SB3054
HB1902
HB2744
(one at a time, and submit YOUR testimony)

I realize this will upset some of you (because you resemble my remarks),

but that is YOUR problem (only YOU can change that).

I am doing what I can.

Are you?

I went to the Honolulu Parks Department website, I watched the Youtube video, I STILL COULDN'T figure out where to make a KokoHead Shooting complex reservation.

Does ANY other park in Honolulu require a "reservation"?
If not, this could be considered discriminatory to the shooting community.

PLEASE, contact Mayor Caldwell and voice your displeasure.

Also mention the (currently 12 week) wait to get a firearms permit, and the next 10 week wait to register it (before you can legally use it, otherwise it is an unregistered firearm)
(BTW, for all three visits to HPD, I was the only one there, and I was 30 min early)
I just did both, it was obviously designed as a "deterrent" to getting a firearm.

It is apparent that Honolulu doesn't want you to have a firearm (or be proficient with it)

Paul
P.S. anyone want to start a legal action against this "2A infringement"?

I'm in.
