Got a BS response from the chief below is my reply.

Aloha,

Although your response gives reasons for the destruction of these guns, the reasoning given for not selling them to the general public is certainly derived nonsense.

Hawaii's gun laws do not arbitrarily allow "guns on the streets". The guns would end up in the hands of law abiding citizens; people that have passed through the qualifications and background checks necessary for handgun ownership. You, as well as I, know that those guns would be kept at home or a place of business unless going to and from a range.

The guns could also have been sold to a mainland high volume dealer bringing in much needed revenues to the City and County.
In this day and age it is absolutely ridiculous to waste 1/2 million dollars of tax payers money for political correctness or ambition.

Yes, political correctness or political ambition, as the facts do not add up.

Sincerely,

Nice Mamalukino ! 

I still think it's a cover up because they couldn't inventory them.

I got my boiler-plate response today as well. All the letter did was restate their position rather than addressing my comments.

As Mamalukino points out - the registration process should keep the guns with law-abiding citizens unless, of course, the Chief does not trust the police to adequately handle this. It's almost like he's saying he doesn't trust the police with firearms!

It's almost like he's saying he doesn't trust the police with firearms!

That's cause they "lost"  so many of 'em !
