folks need to write to Ige to VETO HB2744
https://governor.hawaii.gov/contact-us/comments-on-legislation/limited to 250 characters, sorta like a long tweet, so you don't have to dream up a lot of text to write.
start off with "Please VETO HB2744..."
which will instantly criminalize all law-abiding AR owners for possessing an unregistered firearm. since the AR upper receiver will be considered a firearm on its' own merits, requiring serialization, registration, etc.
The upper, by itself. If you don't believe me, read the verbiage yourself:
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2020/bills/HB2744_SD2_PROPOSED_.HTM "Firearm receiver" means the part of a firearm that provides housing for the firearm's internal components, including a hammer,
bolt, breechblock, action, or firing mechanism.
Obviously your lower is already a duly registered firearm receiver, but now your upper, on its' own, is also a firearm receiver: it houses the bolt. has nothing to do with the lower. when this bill gets signed into law, who already has registered their AR upper with HPD? nobody. If you try to go there today to register your upper because you're that type of guy, ahead of the curve for new laws, you'll go home feeling not-so-smart.
this is beyond stupid. only the fertile warped mind of Karl Rhoads could hatch something this mind-boggling, pull it out of his a$$ at the last minute. out of the clear blue. yesterday was a nice day, even. W.T.F. sorry, I digress.
or am I wrong?
