Here we go guys.  There are a bunch of anti-2a bills on the works.  The list includes the old 2015 bills that carried over to 2016.

A big thank you to the HRA and Dr. Max Cooper for reviewing and clarifying / providing a position on the various bills!

I added a second sheet that tallies the legislator votes and the public written testimonies.

Wow, there's a lot of them.

Looks like Slom, Kong, Gabbard and even Ihara came through.

Espero about 50/50.

Lot of work to do gang !

And thanks JL ! 

Yup.  Much appreciation for keeping track of this JI808.  Let's get a game plan going.

great job, JL
 

wow, thanks JL

Friggin' JL, that's an awesome job (and a lot of work you put in)

thanks ! 

Who knew there would be so many 2A bills introduced.
A lot to support and a lot to oppose.

Let's hope the troops rally.

Looks like the schemers at the capitol are getting busy.

If you guys can suggest color codes (support or oppose) for some of the new bills, please let me know as I haven't had a chance to read through most of them.

I'm going to echo everyone else and say awesome job! 

As far as the color codes, I would say red for oppose, green for support, and yellow for anything else until it can be discussed. For example, HB2629, I would NOT support this as it calls for ALL firearms applicants to be enrolled in a "criminal record monitoring service used to alert police when an owner of a firearm is arrested for a criminal offense anywhere in the country". Sounds like a national database of firearms owners to me.

I would also include HB2630 which would hand over our registration info to the Hawaii Criminal justice Data Center, and HB2631 which seems to be basically the same as HB2629 with wording to include "Lawful permanent residents" or legal aliens. Also its companion SB783.

We're not pedophiles, and we shouldn't have to be "registered" into any criminal database simply for exercising our Constitutional rights.

I'll be going over these bills and posting my opinions for discussion. I hope everyone else will do the same, as well as show up for hearings when possible and submitting testimony if it's not

Again, great job and Thank You!

Thanks for the feedback on the bills edster. 

The list is updated as of 1/30/2016 8:30am.
