The AG says that they cannot charge people under the current law for having a P80 that has no serial number on it. So they instead need more laws.
Nevermind that they also cannot charge for: places to keep, not registered, places to keep ammo, etc...
During testimony, the chief of the DLE said "if they separate the slide from the frame (handgun), then they cannot be charged". This means one could technically walk down waikiki with their AR slung and the take down pin behind the pistol grip pulled out and the upper/lower separated by 1/4 inch and that would be legal.
These are the morons who are in charge.
But at least for this new parts law, they added in the word "prohibited person". So if a felon has the parts, then they're breaking the law. A law abiding citizen is protected. And they also removed springs and like smaller parts that could easily be mistake for a firearm "part".
The above is with regard to the HI bill/law and not the federal law that corrupt Tokuda is talking about.
