Can't submit testimony. Is only the house bill taking testimony at this point?

Edit: never mind, looks like there are two senate versions?

you can only testify on bills that have hearings scheduled

Aloha e [heavies],

 Mahalo for your email. I'm a supporter of Second Amendment rights and appreciate your input. I'll consider this closely if and when I have an opportunity to vote on it.

 Best wishes to you and your 'ohana.

I got the same reply back to my personal email. Nice to see we do have some pro-gun Democrats in this state.

And the fact that Mike presented a bill to increase pistol mags to 17rds.

Why is it only progressive states that are in violation of Federal law?

18 U.S. Code § 926 - Rules and regulations

(a) The Attorney General may prescribe only such rules and regulations as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter, including—
(1) regulations providing that a person licensed under this chapter, when dealing with another person so licensed, shall provide such other licensed person a certified copy of this license;
(2) regulations providing for the issuance, at a reasonable cost, to a person licensed under this chapter, of certified copies of his license for use as provided under regulations issued under paragraph (1) of this subsection; and
(3) regulations providing for effective receipt and secure storage of firearms relinquished by or seized from persons described in subsection D8 or G8 of section 922.


No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any STATE or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions be established. Nothing in this section expands or restricts the Secretary’s [1] authority to inquire into the disposition of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation.[/


(b) The Attorney General shall give not less than ninety days public notice, and shall afford interested parties opportunity for hearing, before prescribing such rules and regulations.
(c) The Attorney General shall not prescribe rules or regulations that require purchasers of black powder under the exemption provided in section 845(a)(5) of this title to complete affidavits or forms attesting to that exemption.

Once agin, this only applies to the AG of the United States and the federal government. They can not require a state to make a registration/data base, but the states can do it on their own.

As of this evening's updates, SB 2265 STILL in committee and I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE BACK FROM PHONE CALLS MADE TO PSM OR JDC. And of course, no email response either from the heads of these committees when asked to NOT give this bill a hearing.
