it would be funny if someone showed up to hpd with a truckbed full of trash.  i'd hesitate to say you can use anything to accelerate the rate of fire, but you can jury rig almost anything...

This guy is bump firing a glock with a scrap piece of wood.

This gives me an idea for an event.  50 people lined up to turn crap.into to hpd.

I actually included a photo of a pile of pruned waiwi and bamboo cuttings in my testimonies to the legislature and asked if they would be coming to collect those (I also included photos of string and rubber bands, etc.), since there are probably about 10,000 of those on my property that could be used to facilitate bump-firing.

After the bill passed and went into law I sent the same photo to Hawaii County PD and asked them if they wanted me to turn them in or if they wanted to come and get them... suggested a large bed pick-up and wheel barrow as there are piles of them all over my four acres only accessible by narrow footpaths. They never got back to me on that one...

so does anybody know, statewide, or at least C&C Honolulu, how many bumpstocks were actually turned in?  or "multi-burst trigger activators"?

I'm guessing zero, but who knows, there's always that village idiot...

I filed UIPA requests with each county police department on the six month anniversary of the law going into effect, January 9, 2019. I asked how many of each kind of device had been turned in and/or confiscated during the 30 day amnesty period and during the succeeding months. I also asked by what means they publicized the law to the people of their county. I also asked for any documentation of any discussions or meetings about exactly which items that can be used to facilitate "bump-firing" would be considered illegal i.e. only manufactured items, or rubber bands, boards, pipe, string, pants belt loops, etc.). I got one response yesterday. I just got two responses today, almost a week overdue the initial 10 working day limit to respond, and only after I sent them re-requests after the deadline had past last Tuesday. They literally arrived less than an hour ago and I haven't had time to read them yet. Only Kauai PD responded within the allotted 10 day time frame, and they responded within 36 hours. Kauai PD received ZERO of the three categories of banned items during the amnesty and the following 5 months. The most interesting thing about the response from Kauai PD was that they (Assistant Chief) claimed to never have heard about any "amnesty period", even though at the press conference with the governor signing the bill chief Ballard announced that "all the county police chiefs have agreed to an amnesty" for 30 days. So if you had showed up at the Kauai PD to turn in your bumpstock, etc.during that 30 day amnesty period they might have said "Thank you very much. You're under arrest." Maybe somebody in the department knew about the amnesty and would have short-circuited the booking.

When I have time this evening to read over the other responses I'll make a separate post.
