Red flag laws itself are unconstitutional, as it directly violates the 4th amendment. You can have your property seized unlawfully based on lies--perhaps you have a neighbor or some damn Karen who hates your ass; they can petition to have your weapons taken under false pretenses, all without you knowing about it. Well, you'll know about it when only after the PD shows up to take your shit.

It as damn mystery why none of our leaders caught this glaring flaw in the law. I don't really think they even know the Constitution.  Maybe they do, but then that would be worse.

Ladies and gentleman, we are having our democracy chipped away bit by bit. Soon it will be an autocracy. Why? Well, only autocrats work against Blackstone's Ratio.

Blackstone's Ratio states that it's better for 10 guilty to escape justice than for 1 innocent to suffer unjustly.  The direct opposite, which is probably already the mentality of the modern times are, it's better for 10 innocent to suffer unjustly than 1 guilty to escape justice.

Don't fucking leave. That's why this state's gone to shit. People leave and take their talents elsewhere. That leaves us with not much.  Not meaning to offend here, but our best don't stay here. 

This is home. Let's both defend it and cultivate it.

...I knew when I moved here twenty years ago, that Hawaii is a third world schiff hole run by
the "Party" for the benefit of the "Party".  That hasn't and won't change.

I live in the poorest county in Hawaii and the Honolulu government just made it poorer.
And of course never violate any Constitutional Federal, state, or local laws.

PS.  All those Californians moving to AZ are really screwing it up.
I'm sure Inspector made the best choice he could given the medical issues his family faced,
But AZ would not be my first choice.

I wish it were that simple. There's not a strong demand for tech jobs or jobs that have a need for higher education. I think the bulk of jobs here in Hawaii are vocational. Tourism and construction with a sprinkling of defense - account for the economy.
People with good leadership skills are most likely found leading successful businesses.

..Try to get a government job if your last name
is Johnston rather than Chin or Kim or Matsuda.
That is why Hawaii fails it's true potential.
It is still a tribal society...

After several months of experimentation, and three months of trials on my 'final' design, I am finally satisfied with my printed mags.

Every part is made from raw components - the body, follower, and baseplate/locking plate are printed, the spring is hand wound from .059" music wire on a 3d printable bending jig that I also developed. A standard capacity mag is available to anyone with a printer, square-edge file, and two pair of pliers.

I've been using DIY mags for three months now, and have yet to have on of the final designs fail. The one pictured has been through 300 rounds without issue.

Total cost to DIY everything pictured is 13 bucks.

Gotta put the newspaper in the pics, just like ransom pics.

I have a bunch of mags that I bought over the years, usually ahead of threats of bans or restrictions starting over 10 years ago.  I was also able to get on awesome deals after people hoarded up mags and then sold off after prices dropped.  I typically bust out new mags here and there for training, but I haven't done so in a while since I have a number of training mags that I rotate through.  I've also bought mags over the years to try and they still going strong.  The Lancer AWM mags are one that I really have come to like, particularly for classes.  Overall, quality UGSI mags are my favorite. 

Mags are disposable items and they wear, get busted up, etc.  I have some mags that have started to show signs of needing to be replaced.
Duct tape.   
 It's the number of mags in reserve to replace the "in use" mags that is important to me.
Those are my "Reserve mags".

I wonder ...

The HI Prosecutor's office has never weighed in on the legality of >10rd AR-15 mags being included in the ban that applies to pistol mags.

 If this new ban is passed, and we have to present our >10rd mags for registration, will those mags be confiscated based on HPD's new policy based on the existing HRS ban on >10rd "pistol" mags? 

Catch 22 time: 
"Your >10rd rifle mags are grandfathered, just bring them in to be registered." 
"Oh, that's an AR mag.  It was already banned, so no grandfathering for these illegal mags.  Do you want this bag back?"

It's been argued on here in the past that the law is clear re: AR mags.  However, overlapping laws blur the lines between semi-auto AR pistols that accept removable mags being legal and whether that law negates the mag capacity limit for AR rifles.

This new law is about to reopen that can of worms IMO.  If the bill is defeated, I can see activists pushing the original law to ban these mags anyway by forcing an official interpretation of the law and increased enforcement.

Correct if wrong, but HRS defines what an assault pistol is (AR pistol).  This is why some cannot have a detachable magazine, or must block the gas port, etc...

 And in current law it states "inserted into a pistol".  Not "assault pistol".  So g2g. That's why for the bill, they crossed out "pistol" and replaced it with "firearm".

And the former prosecutor (Kaneshiro) stated during an interview that he will not enforce AR mags.
