The "antis" will always grasp at and twist around whatever they can to justify what they know isn't true

Yea I thought the same thing. A nice collection there.
I think that's an earlier pic from an article about
confiscated weapons. I think I've seen it before.
She probably figured it was scary enough though since the fact that
citizens are exercising their right is troubling to her.
It probably pained her dearly to put that last sentence about
the reduction of gun violence in there but at least she did.

What's up with that lead in photo then showing SRT and that table? Why not instead show what that article's about, real people and the 10-22s or what they're actually buying. Slanted media trying to scare readers right off the bat! I calling you out MauiNow.com and writer Wendy Osher please explain.

General Discussion / Firearm registration up 516% for Maui County

I thought this was kinda interesting. The key is in the last paragraph.
"The report states that, “While there has been an increase in firearm registration activity in Hawaii since 2000, the number of firearm-related violent crimes and the proportion of violent crimes involving firearms relative to other weapon types remained low and stable through 2007 and subsequently decreased.”
Just shows that law abiding responsible citizens are not the problem and Hawaii needs to adhere to the US Constitution and become a " Shall issue " state. It's our right,

If this is a step in the right direction we will see. I cant imagine the powers that control our state government ever changing. As long as they remain in power nothing ever changes for the good.
We need to change them first
We need to change them first
Just seen in the Patriot Post this morning.... Not sure how it will all play out...
"Hawaii Becomes Shall-Issue
The Ninth Circuit Court recently ruled in Peruta v. San Diego that California residents did not have to show a "pressing need" for a concealed weapons license. Thursday, the Ninth Circuit extended that to Hawaii by overturning a district court ruling and thus making the Aloha State a shall-issue state. The Court said, "In light of our holding in Peruta, the district court made an error of law when it concluded that the Hawaii statutes did not implicate protected Second Amendment activity. Accordingly, we vacate the district court's decision denying [the plaintiff's] motion for a preliminary injunction and remand for further proceedings consistent with Peruta." We're glad to see that even the Ninth Circuit acknowledges that the Second Amendment means what it says. "

Back to the topic....For those that have already applied (and maybe I missed this somewhere else...) what's the deal with fingerprints? Does HPD do them when you complete the application? Or do you have to bring them in from somewhere?
On Maui MPD takes your prints when you apply. Even for just a long gun license. Sure it would be the same for HPD too.

If we could get changes or just get a "Stand your ground law" here. Right now if some 5 time meth head felon breaks into my house and threatens my family and I shoot him, I go to jail.
If we can change that maybe there would be more justification for CCW? IDK its all so backwards

I don't know, maybe its me or just that I'm from Maui but I'd never heard of Schatz until 07 when Obama was running for office then the next thing you know he's our LG and now our US senator. As far as our Washington representation goes we are in a bad way.
I wish we could just get even some independent minded folks elected instead of the continual rubber stamp go along liberals that keep our state tied down. Why don't they trust private business & entrepreneurs again?
Until that happens our economy will always be at the mercy of tourism and military spending. Hawaii could be such a strong state economically with our location and international appeal. We should be the hub of the Pacific not just a pretty beach.

Neither Hirono, Gabbard or Shatz represent the interests of the people of Hawaii. They represent the interests of Obama.
As for Mazie.. well her too but I don't think shes really brite enough to know where she stands on anything

I like that pic of the Barrett. Looks like my 99.
I bought a CA 10 a couple years ago and originally didn't want a muzzle break but changed my mind and glad I did.
A friend has a .308 and the recoil is defiantly stronger than mine.
I've heard they can be a problem for some scopes but not mine.

As an avid daily driver I can see a place for automobiles in the hands of legitimate drivers in the general public. I drive often, daily even and sometimes on weekends and my family has a long rich history of driving. That said there is no place for these dangerous kinds of cars for basic transportation.
We all can get where we need to go with ease in vehicles that are limited to say 40 MPH. This is just common sense.
My wife was thinking about getting a car a few years ago but I reminded her that she would be more than happy with taking the bus

Clearly these types of assault vehicles should not be available to the general public.
These dangerous cars can reach speeds of over 100 miles an hour and even have speedometers that go up to 120 MPH.
This is excessive and un necessary since there is no place where they can be legally driven at that speed. Obviously only law enforcement should have such vehicles.
Why should the average person need anything more than a Prius, Leaf or a bicycle anyway?
They need to begin legislation to ban these high speed assault style sport vehicles immediately before more innocent people are victims.
Please Sen Reed, Schumer & DWS don't let the opportunity this tragedy has provided go to waste. You have the Presidents support. Think of the children.

General Discussion / Re: History about Hawaii gun registration... how did it start?
« on: September 30, 2013, 05:38:55 PM »
I'm not sure about the history of legislation that followed. But I do know that when I bought a rifle before the Waikiki Sniper incident, all I had to do was fill out the federal form. There was another sniping case -- in a parking garage on Waimanu Street in Kakaako a few years later and other firearms crimes over the years. I think some kind of registration law was already in effect when the Xerox murders occurred.
At one point, I think in the 1990s, after mandatory registration was enacted, gun owners were advised to bring in the weapons they had obtained earlier and register them. If you didn't take 'em in, the state and city have no record of 'em. The only way the authorities would know about such a weapon would be if someone informs them or they happen upon it, for example, if you took it out in public or committed a crime.
I remember the Xerox shootings. It doesn't seem that long ago. I've got some nice firearms that I've had for years and was once told if they were here pre reg then you didn't need to reg them. I don't know if that's completely true but its how I have acted.

My brother has the Dillon 750 with all the bells and whistles... literally.
I went with a Reading Turret press and purchased 2 extra turrets for other cal set ups. I really don't think I'll be doing much pistol reloading, maybe some 9 mm and 357 but what I really want is accuracy in my rifle loads. I messed around with a Lee single stage and its fine but I figure the turret is kinda between that and progressive a little easier to swith out cals + the Reading is beefy like a single stage. I also stay away from digi scales. A good beam scale doesn't drift.
I just bought a Hornady L&L .50 to start reloading for my big gun. I haven't tried it yet but it should be fun.

I'm a bit confused.
I've been told that the 10 rnd mag limit applies to pistols and any rifle mag that can fit in a pistol..
So this would apply to .223 what about .308?
So what is the rifle mag size limit?
BTW there was just a Brian Schatz banner at the bottom of this page. Good Grief

They are legal here but maybe not some of the mags.
I just got my issue and entered for the Tavor, Les Baer .204 Ruger, Barrett Rec7, and the Rem model 700 .270 which I want to win for my daughter. She got her first Impala with one in SA.
I'm thinking about re entering just for the hell of it. Who knows. Its for a good cause anyway.
