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.

“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.”

Gotta bump those numbers up, still got a long way to go for our goal of 45,000 people with CCW licenses.

When i saw the news, i just was so "upset" that they would interveiw Chris Marvin....He REALLY doesn't know what he's talking about.

As WE all know, the LEGAL gun owners wont be involved in any of the recent incidents...too much to lose!

Plus what does LEGAL gun purchases in Hawaii have to do with anything?  Like the recent shooting in KALIHI...16 yr old arrested...OMG:  They aren't even of legal age to own or posses a gun...Well all of the LAWS being or trying to be passed will always be AGAINST us legal/law abiding gun owners....

Remember, Hawaii is a BLUE State and NOT Fully apart of the other 49 States.  Hawaii picks and chooses when we really want to be a part of the United State of America.

Couple of thing i would really like to see that would be :impactful:

1) of the Registered Gun owners in the State of Hawaii, how many of us commit some sort of crime?
2) What is the amount of guns legally owned that are reported lost/stolen
3) How many registered guns are found to be used in Crimes within our State

I see a lot of knife and other dangerous instruments used...

Aloha!

He and org's like him spin the false narratives.  I remember the stand your ground hearing, he thought that you can open carry a rifle as he used Kyle Rittenhouse as an example of what Hawaii doesn't need.  He was called out that HI has no open carry, so his statement is moot, but he still used it cause that's all he had as a talking point.

Gotta remember to remind him to cut his own penis off every time there's a rape in the news.
