Hearing is on 2/6 at 2pm (next day. Testimony is due 24 hours before the hearing)

I don't understand this one.

Is the current law that serialized components are "firearms" no matter what, but nonserialized parts are only a firearm if assembled into an operable firearm?


Are there actually a bunch of dudes roving around Oahu with unassembled homemade firearms in their pockets?

Im trying to type something up, but theres just so mch WTF in the wording and premise of this bill to know where to start.

"Dear committee, this entire bill is FUBAR".

Yeah just let it rip. Stop trying to be so polite and reasonable with people who clearly don’t deserve it.

They don't listen to reason, maybe toss being polite might work. 

i went with "OPPOSE this government overreach"
it's not like they read them anyways, right?

now you have to go find those missing detents and springs that were launched into outer orbit years ago.  not to mention that miniscule #4-40 set screw.  Good Luck with that!

Class B Felony.  Are you kidding me?

you get a felony, everybody gets a felony.  Felony's for EVERYBODY!

I wasn't rude or obnoxious, but I didn't sugarcoat my testimony either.

I'm fed up and yes, I let it rip.

So sick of this f*ckn bullsh*t.

give them Hell !!!

Yea this bill doesn't make sense even through their eyes.

I don't see how restricting the transportation of firing pins and stuff helps with public safety.

Exactly what I said in my testimony
Unless you hit someone over the head with a rifle barrel. I'm being sarcastic of course. I didnt say that in my testimony

That’s actually a good line. Use it next time

Im starting to think this is their pathway to regulating purchase/ ownership of parts. First set precedent that they can and have the authority/history to do so.

Their entire goal is to ban "assault rifles". Then later, pistols and they will use the precedent of rifle bans cause nationwide, ALL rifles kill 400 or less a year. Compared to 5,000 handgun homicides.

my rough count, including the late testimony, was 230 Oppose, 39 Support.

but I lost count a couple of times, so might be off by a few on the Oppose, I think I got the Support count right, though.

not counting the late submissions, might be 202 Oppose, 33 Support.

in that ballpark.
