Their is already case law (appeals court, DC) that states that requiring someone to bring their firearm to a police station to register it is unconstional, so yes I do see it as feasible that this could happen in the future.

Finically, the county's  would save money by being able to reduce the number of officers service ing the firearms departments, if the forms were being colemeted by an FFL then the number of people needing service at the PD would decrease essentially by 50%, also by having the FFL's charge a fee their would also be increase tax revenue,  based on 2014 numbers around $25k not to mention the increased revenue for local buisniess and potential all for job growth,

Safety wise, people would not have to make an unnecessary trip to the PD, reducing the possibility of a firearm being lost or stolen, or being shot by an overselous police officer.

Then if the firearm ended up being illegal, the FFL would face consequences?

The first objection I see HPD having is that they want to visually inspect the firearm to make sure it is legal.

While it is tempting to pay for the convenience, I reject the entire premise of paying to exercise my rights.  That precedence would open the door to tacking on never ending and ridiculous fees.  And as it is,  it is hard enough to get Hawaii gun peeps to be proactive in fighting for their rights.  If they make it easier, that will encourage this complacency and cause further, and less difficult, chipping of our rights until they are nothing....   JMHO

As it stands the law already allows for them to charge for registration, at any time PD,s can add a fee for registration of every firearm. Thiis is becoming more likley every year as the country's keep running larger defacets. So I'm thinking the fee is coming not mayter what it's about who gets the money and can we use it to our benefit.

Painful reading. Is this Olde Engrish?

Get rid of registration one of the reasons in not a resident anymore is hawaiis gun laws. My new state allow neighbor sales and no registration of firearms along with getting your firearms when you purchase them nbot a 2 week waiting period per weapon and even dumber permits. Also SBR's, and suppressors

Not all of us can move

Sorry its caused by writing on an ipad that auto corrects words and i dont catch it.

The law already allows them to charge a Fee for registration.
§134-3  Registration, mandatory, exceptions.
(e)  No fee shall be charged for the registration of a firearm under this section, except for a fee chargeable by and payable to the registering county for persons registering a firearm under subsection (a), in an amount equal to the fee actually charged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to the registering police department for a fingerprint check in connection with the registration.  In the case of a joint registration, the fee provided for in this section may be charged to each person

The fee charged is not for registration per se; it is for the fingerprint processing. I know we are splitting hairs, however, IMHO it would be a better fight to convince 'them' of the waste of tax dollars and police resources on useless registration and monitoring of law abiding citizens.  I cannot quote the exact number, but exactly ZERO crimes have been averted by our firearm registration laws.   But that is nothing new for Hawaii government....  truckloads of money spent, ZERO benefits.

Yeah, if all the people that believe Constitutional governing is important left, this place'd be circling the drain even more quickly than it already is...
