I know there are many families and individuals out there that bond over the use of firearms with their family, friends, potential significant other, co workers, and etc.

I know there are people out there that firearms are a way to destress during their work week or through life or its a great way to have a few laughs whilst socializing about or near firearms.

Also remember to Submit AGAINST SB3196 if any of this above applies to you, I think this is another good reason
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=3196&year=2024
- make an account
- follow the link
- click submit testimony and enter bill SB3196 then press continue
- obviously go against this bill...
-- testify why you are against this bill

I know the possible argument is that this might not even go through by how terribly unconstitutional it is but if we don't speak out (which I observe has been the common trend) it will have a higher chance of happening...

Anyone know how I can casually talk to someone about my interest in firearms? Do you hide it from others that you meet in life? Do you passively/actively try to educate others on firearms and its importance? I would like to get more people in my live involved with it.

Applications/ take away
- you can have your AR. Just has to be a m16 style rifle stock (complies with the 3a listed in this bill)
- you cant have a pistol grip (say bye to a firing hand grip)
- no hand stop, hand brake, foregrip, andgle fore grip
- no flash hider, muzzle brake, compensator... just bare barrel
- You will have to wear GLOVES hand guards will not be allowed
- no bayonet mount (collector/history guys this applies to you)
- grenade launcher mount
- threaded barrel.

darn, I'll have to take my grenade launcher off 

what if you only registered the stripped lower?
it doesn't have any of the parts in question on the registration
even if you registered a built AR, the registration doesn't list the parts that are on the firearm. cops will need to come to kokohead or indoor ranges to see what you have on your AR to enforce these rules

Socializing is one of the best reasons that I have for shooting guns. In my life, I have socialized with tennis players, hot rod car fanatics, co-workers, and gun guys. I seem to get along best with gun enthusiasts. Why?

I think we are more mature and responsible than most other groups. ...mostly. 

This forum is a good place to meet people with a common interest. Before covid, we had gatherings at the range. Shooting clubs always had events there. We have been there for many decades. I've made many great friends through the gun community.

Describe your field of interest and go to the range. Be polite and you can make life-long friends. Join a club.

Articulation is important. When they ask when you added said parts, keep your mouth shut.

Submitted my testimony this morning!

One of my main reasons to REALLY getting into firearms was to go shoot with my dad and shoot at the action bay at koko head. Ive made a few friends, and they help

oh nice.
My dad and grandpa taught me how to shoot about 60 years ago.
 I used to shoot at the action side all the time.
One of my kids grew up and bought his own guns and he used to shoot at the action bays too.
He moved to Vegas to buy a nice house and we went shooting in Vegas last year.

Some traditions should NEVER die.
One of the problems we have with crime is when kids run loose without their moms or dads to discipline them.
Moms and Dads are supposed to be the role models for kids.
When that doesn't happen, the world turns to sh---t real fast.
