Yeah, like that's never happened before. Or should it be "Like that's ever NOT happened before"?

I'm sure once the governor gets all the emails, and he and his staff read the testimony submitted opposing those bills that he will rationally evaluate the evidence and veto the bills. Right?       

They have no fear of reprisal.  Hope you vote....

Email the governor?

Yes! and all the Senators and Reps....again. use the link!

I will not buy another weapon for as long as I am in this state.  This FN57 will be the last. 18 months to go and back to Georgia.  Sorry you guys have to deal with this communist crap here.

I thought it likely that HiCarry or JI808 would (but they haven't so far) post the latest (yesterday, Friday the 29th) emailed HRA request to use the NRA-ILA site "take action" button to send more emails AGAIN, even if you already have.

There has been no indication what he will do, but that being said, I think the general consensus is that he will sign.

Passed by huge majorities of both houses. He might be hesitating momentarily while he has his staff check and double check to see if anyone has claimed that they were "annoyed" by receiving two unsolicited emails from him.

Just a reminder, you can't send too many emails. They never acknowledge they've received even one. At least from me. I seriously doubt it makes any difference in the numbers we're amassing, but it couldn't hurt, i don't think...

Hawaii Bill Would Database Gun Owners For Special Scrutiny

by Marshall Lewin, NRA, America’s First Freedom, May 30, 2016

Excerpt:

The fact that "rap back" will flag people who have only been arrested, but not necessarily convicted—in other words, only accused but not proven to have committed any crime—is acceptable to some people who say that the mere possibility of harm to children is worth the cost to constitutional rights.

“Rap Back”: A New Federal Firearm Registry

From NRA-ILA, May 27, 2016

As part of the FBI’s Next Generation Identification Program, the agency is implementing what it calls the “Rap Back” service.  “Rap Back” provides law enforcement agencies – at their request – ongoing alerts on specific individuals.  Once a person is entered into the system, the requesting agency is alerted whenever a new record is entered into an FBI database for that person. Such records include criminal arrests, warrants, convictions, and, in certain cases, the outcomes of civil proceedings.  The primary intended use of “Rap Back” appears to be for persons on probation, those who are the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation, or for others in highly sensitive positions, such as those with security clearances.  A new bill in Hawaii, however, would require all lawful gun owners in the state to be entered into the system.  This is clearly not the intended purpose of the new system.
