I'm not counting on her to be a 2a supporter, I just want her to support this one bill, National CCW Reciprocity.  I'm sure she will still support assault weapons bans and other stuff.  You have to start somewhere even if it's a small thing and maybe it'll be the seed of good things to come in the long run.  You can wait to have a pro-2a supporter in Congress but you're going to be waiting a long time, maybe a decade or two, until new people are elected.  We need to try different things instead of doing things the same way and getting the same results.  I'm open to other ideas or changes.

You still haven't answered the question: What specifically are you going to do, or suggest others do, to get "her support [for] this one bill"? What would her "values' have to be regarding Second Amendment issues in order for her to be consistent in supporting bans and limited mags, etc. while at the same time supporting legalizing concealed carry in a state with currently zero legal concealed carriers? That's gonna be some pretzel logic. Including, "I want people to be able to use the best tool available for self-defense outside their home, but I also want to make sure they only have 10 rounds of ammo available to do that."

I look forward to the report on this Oahu "town hall" and exactly how Ms. Gabbard clearly and unequivocably responded to the appeals to support HR38 (or anything at all related to the denied civil rights of Hawaii firearms owners).

I've read the "news" reports of all her "town halls", including the one last night on Oahu. They read identically: she said this and that about this and that. Sounded "managed" to me... which was confirmed by reading this opinion published in Wast Hawaii Today following her "meeting" there:

Tulsi’s Kona town hall pure shell game

Excerpts:

I'm a well known Democrat hater.
What do you expect from Tulsi?
Lest I cross some line,  I'll leave it at that.
I will contribute to mainland guys that support
the Hudson bill. 

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard confirmed at the April 11 Kona town hall meeting that 1) she is a skilled manager and manipulator of audiences; 2) that she has a remarkable command of the issues and 3) that her legislative accomplishments as Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District Representative since 2013 are negligible.

Rep. Gabbard together with her staff and a moderator successfully orchestrated a town hall meeting of limited substance and no controversy.

For the remainder of the program Tulsi answered queries from carefully selected questioners and blasé, written questions selected and read by the moderator. By the end of the program many bored participants had left the meeting.

1 PM Sunday. Edited to add: The video of the entire town hall meeting has been posted. It is 1:32:55 long. Please tell me where she addresses those who question her about her support for HR38. I can't bear to watch the whole thing, especially after watching the first 10 seconds and seeing the standing ovation.

It was a crowded meeting, about 200 or so and looked like most of them were from Kailua (her district is waianae, windward side, and outer islands).  It wasn't what I expected as it was more like a rally where the vast majority of the attendees were supporters.  Or it could be representative of the community since she won 81% of the vote.  She spoke for about 20 minutes then opened it up to questions.  Attendees had to sign a roster with their question and the moderator would select people to come up to ask their question.  I didn't like that format since they could pick and choose the topics they wanted to discuss or not, but it kept the meeting orderly.  I oppose a lot of her views but I thought she answered the questions well, was knowledgeable on the subject, and explained why she did the things she did.  Like her stance on HB38, there were a couple of questions on subjects where stated she hasn't chosen a side yet.  The topics were on stuff you would expect...Syria, obamacare, guaranteed income, Trump, and other mainstream topics.  The only 2a thing brought up was people being disappointed  on her vote against the VA from being able to take guns away from veterans.  I'll attend some other town hall meetings to see if they're any different from this one.

Yeah, just like the other previous "town hall" meetings it was a totally-controlled "we'll allow and discuss only what we want to allow and discuss" format. It's "freedom of speech" as long as you don't say anything we don't want to hear or have to answer to. No surprise there. So did you submit a written question and/or ask to be on the list of "approved" questioners to ask out loud? Even the microphone holders would not relinquish the microphones to the hands of the speakers so if they went "off script" they could instantly be silenced by removing the mic. Thus further confirming my decision not to attend the Hilo "town hall" only to ask a question that I have asked her many times via email and telephone (and she has yet to answer), that will not be asked publicly, and even if it were would not be answered except by political doubletalk. As an aside, did you happen to notice any "armed security" present? Not that that would make her an elitist hypocrite or anything, but I'm just asking out of pure idle curiosity.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any women to testify.  I asked the Well Armed Woman group on Maui for help.  I didn't think Tulsi would remember me from the Guard, but she did.  I was able to talk to her before and after the meeting for a little bit and gave her a letter I wrote about HB38.  It appears to me she's still undecided on it.  On one hand she has to follow her party and constituents views, but on the other hand she has her own experiences.

Can you tell us specifically what she said that leads you to conclude she is undecided? What exactly did she say re the pros and cons of bearing arms in general (she's clearly opposed it in the past) or HR38 in particular? She answered a question about the process by which she makes decisions that night when someone asked if she made her decisions based upon what her constituents desired, or what she personally decided was best or right. She, of course, said that the views of her constituents vary widely, so there is rarely unanimity of opinion, thus she depends on her and her staff's "research" to decide a position (I guess that's the same research that let her to state the hundreds of millions of Americans Medicaid funding would be cut by the AHCA). Hudson made HR38 public late in 2016. He introduced it the first day of the legislative session, January 3, 2017. It's now 103 days later. They must be doing a LOT of research. (Of course all the research with the best methodology shows that people that bear arms outside their homes are the most law-abiding people there are: cops are arrested for crimes between (depending on which crimes are included) three and six TIMES as often as CCW licensees.) I call bullshit. She knows what she is going to do. She has known what she is going to do. She just won't make a public announcement because it would cause a flurry of public and private responses, and she has enough of those already.

I contacted Tulsi( my congress critter),
I asked her to co-sponsor HB 38 Hudson
bill.  All I heard back was Coqui frogs.
She is a DINO.  She is not a 2A friend.

Called Gabbard's DC office again this morning asking what her position is on HR38 and was told "She has not made a public statement on that yet". So I asked .1. that she sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill (188 so far), 2. that she at least support the bill, 3. that she make a public statement about her position on the bill as there is no reason that she would not know by now what her position is.

Maybe 20 or so of you might take the 90 seconds to do the same: (202) 225-4906.
