Little follow up on my rep.
Just received  Community Survey questionnaire form from Pouha.
Of the 11 questions, question #8 was "Do you support increased gun regulations in Hawaii."   :crazy:
Nice of him to ask, we'll see if he listens.   ;)

Well, since the testimonies on these bills were incredibly lopsided AGAINST, and they've made it this far anyway, I wouldn't hold my breath...
Always be yourself.
Unless you can be a pirate.

It's only true that "the testimonies on these bills were incredibly lopsided AGAINST" if you happen to believe that "one person equals one vote".

The reality is that your and my votes/preferences/opinions only count for one vote each, but the preferences and opinions from government bureaucrats (HPD, Attorney General, etc.) and leftist statist organizations (League of Socialist Women Voters, Americans for (Ir)Responsible Solutions, Center for Communist American Progress, etc.) count for approximately 500 votes each. Thus while the testimony would appear to be 107 to 6 in our favor, in the minds of our elite legislators who are far more intelligent that us and thus know what's best for us, it's actually 3000 to 107 in their FAVOR. Thus the unanimous, or near unanimous votes in these committees. It's called Democratic Socialist Math (even Bernie Sanders might agree that it's skewed, given the disparity in the votes he's received and the delegates Clinton has received... yesterday in the Hawaii Democratic caucus Sanders got 70% of the vote, to Clinton's 30%, yet Sanders only got 58% of the delegates to Clinton's 42%. See how that works? And they're okay with that!).  :shaka:

Compile and tabulate all the numbers so we can use this AGAINST them during the election cycle.  Nothing sells change like a bunch of pissed off people.
