Signed.

Although my faith in that White House petition site is low.  Has the White House ever given official response to any 2A related subject as a result of crossing the 100,000 signature threshold? 
That old 'Repeal the NFA' petition listed on there had crossed the 100k mark back in February of 2017. Sitting at over 300k, currently collecting digital dust. 
Sorry, not trying to be a Debbie Downer about it... Just wish they'd actually respond as they claim.

Great, now all bottles over 10oz will be considered high capacity, and hence banned.

Maybe Hawaii should study how California cities are dealing with the homeless.....


Hawaii politicians and lawmakers will look at this video and say, "Ha! We can outdo California...  Hold my beer."

Which island? On the Big Island in the Hilo area, there's Stueb's. They usually carry some lowers. While they did carry Spike's in the past and probably still do, I think they also carried other brands. Might try check them out if you're in the area. HTH  :shaka:

I sent her an email asking if she needs me to put the data in an excel file for her

Unsure if she knows what Excel is.  She might think excel is her dietary suppliment for a good bm.

Wow, awesome!  I hope you have great success with the filing.
It's insane that butterfly knives are even banned in the first place.

And working with Burton Richardson on this? The same Richardson who trained under Dan Inosanto? Really cool!  My JKD instructor was his student. Was great to meet him and talk story. That was probably around 20 years ago.

They cheated and they still lost.
1) "Allowing" illegals into the country. Offering them taxpayer funded "free" services and money in exchange for votes.
2) Having dead people vote.
3) Voting machines that flip votes.
4) Not prosecuting someone who clearly (with evidence) and purposely breached national security with her private email server.

Since they didn't win with cheating, changing the rules is their logical next step.
I'm really amazed Trump won with the chips stacked so heavily against him.

Wow, I posted about this literally about 1 1/2 minutes after you lol.  Topic wasn't there prior to my posting.  If a mod wants to delete mine, please do so.

Judge Benitez rendered his opinion late Friday afternoon and handed Second Amendment supporters a sweeping victory by completely invalidating California’s 10-round limit on magazine capacity. “Individual liberty and freedom are not outmoded concepts,” he declared.
Friday’s order prohibits California from enforcing its magazine restrictions, leaving its law-abiding residents safer and freer, at least for the time being.

Great! Not that Hawaii lawmakers care about the Bill of Rights, so it'll probably never happen here.

I wish every law maker who had any involvement with a law that violates the constitution would face jail time, not only the 2a, but all parts of the Bill of Rights.

Hold their feet to the fire. I agree completely!
They currently make laws with absolutely no worries about repercussions.  They dare us to take it to a higher court to fight/defend said rights because they know how long and dragged out they can make it with delay tactics.
Since our rights are on trial, shouldn't those rights be afforded the 6th amendment? Speedy trial?  Not years-long (rights delayed; rights denied).

If I'm patient and wait for sales, local prices on BI aren't too bad.
Couple of months ago, I picked up a couple of boxes of Federal .223 for about .31 a round.
Different store different day, I picked up American Eagle 5.56 for .36 per round.
This is all in the Hilo and Keaau area.

Haven't bought 9mm or 44 mag in a while, so I don't know current local prices. Sure would like to stock up on 44 mag. Really fun pistol to shoot.

I might be interested if we can get prices below normal local prices. I'd mainly be interested in 223, 5.56, and 9mm. Hopefully there're enough BI peeps to make a group buy worthwhile.  ;)

Off Topic / Funny responses to Millennial's question on Amazon.com
« on: January 14, 2019, 12:37:51 PM »
So I was looking for a charcoal chimney on Amazon.com and was reading through the reviews and some of the questions people had about the various products.
Descriptions on all of these are pretty much the same: Crumple up some newspaper at the bottom, and place charcoal on top. Light and wait.

But one question in particular caught my eye...  And numerous answers that people left!



Q: What can a Millennial use for starter since newspapers are no more?

A: The cardboard sign from your last protest.

A: The stack of pink slips you've accumulated from the jobs you've been unable to hold.

A: The tissues you used when Trump won the election.

A: The photo of Crooked Hillary that you still carry around in your wallet.

A: Your centerfold pics of Nancy Pelosi.

Good stuff. Love this.

Next step, 22LR.

Read through much of it... I especially enjoyed the quote on page 31, “It is hard to conceive a task more appropriate for federal courts than to protect civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution against invasion by the states.
Here's to hoping SCOTUS takes this head-on!

Sad, we could eventually go down this path....



Venezuelans regret gun ban, 'a declaration of war against an unarmed population'

“Guns would have served as a vital pillar to remaining a free people, or at least able to put up a fight,” Javier Vanegas, 28, a Venezuelan teacher of English now exiled in Ecuador, told Fox News. “The government security forces, at the beginning of this debacle, knew they had no real opposition to their force. Once things were this bad, it was a clear declaration of war against an unarmed population.”

Under the direction of then-President Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan National Assembly in 2012 enacted the “Control of Arms, Munitions and Disarmament Law,” with the explicit aim to “disarm all citizens.” The law took effect in 2013, with only minimal pushback from some pro-democracy opposition figures, banned the legal commercial sale of guns and munitions to all - except government entities.

“Venezuelans didn’t care enough about it. The idea of having the means to protect your home was seen as only needed out in the fields. People never would have believed they needed to defend themselves against the government,” Vanegas explained. “Venezuelans evolved to always hope that our government would be non-tyrannical, non-violator of human rights, and would always have a good enough control of criminality.”

He said it didn’t take long for such a wide-eyed public perception to fall apart. “If guns had been a stronger part of our culture, if there had been a sense of duty for one to protect their individual rights, and as a show of force against a government power – and had legal carry been a common thing – it would have made a huge difference,” he lamented.

On the https://votesmart.org/candidate/political-courage-test/149766/andria-tupola/#.W9DRuC_MzAx website, here are her answers for the 'Gun Issues' section.
 
Gun Issues:

a) Do you generally support gun-control legislation?
No

b) Should background checks be required on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows?
Yes

c) Should teachers be allowed to bring guns into the classroom?
No

d) Should a license be required for gun ownership?
Yes

e) Other or expanded principles:
Background checks are required to get a permit to acquire a firearm in Hawaii.


While I don't like her answer about needing a license for gun ownership, compared to the other candidates, she seems the best pick (unless someone can point me in another direction).
