We should support SB274 Concealed Carry and SB 262 Open Carry and vehemently oppose SB 219.

It sounds good...it's just a ban....like in 1994...it's in line with Obama's federal proposal...we've done it before....

BUT the huge difference is this bill make it a felony to possess an "assault weapon"

We need to be Calm, Cool and Collected....however we need to voice our strongest opposition to SB 219.

I signed up for email notifications on this bill so I can submit testimony as soon as its available....

The tyrannical government shouldn't be allowed to take our weapons and should have a grandfather clause....

I sense a revolution in the near future....

Notice how these things are done after the election... What till the next election none of these fools will be re-elected...

Just read the curent configuration of the bill..... It sounds like if we were to use a bullet button it would bypass the whole assault weapons ban?

No one in Hawaii has tested the bullet button legality. So...maybe.

I'll still be pissed if I have to use a bullet button

SECTION 3. This Act does not affect rights and duties that
matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were
begun before its effective date.

Seems like THIS is a grandfather clause.

Bullet button? Yeah, no thanks.

Does anyone know why it gets re-refereed to PSM/CPN/JDL?
Is this a way to get around the system.  first time it got opposition so they re-refer it?
Also is there any chance the bill can die here before making it any farther?

Im not super familiar but as i understand, bill gets referred to the committees who hear the bill, made a decision on it then bring it back to the full house or senate with a recommendation and for voting.

I believe the committees can kill a bill by not bringing it up for a hearing and tabling it.

Here's the full legislative process outlined.
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2011/docs/citizensguide/HowaBillBecomesLaw.pdf

Both house and senate will have to approve the bill this way before it goes to the governor for signing. Then it becomes law.

cool thanks for the link.  Ill have to read up on it.

There are several bills that show the agenda and whether ignorance or not, the disregard to factual information in their move to ban guns in Hawaii, immediately, and a nationwide disarmament ultimately. You have to wonder about the ultimate agenda because it seems to have little to do with protecting the "children"

There is an article in Hawaii Free Press http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ArticleType/ArticleView/ArticleID/8736/Default.aspx that I'm also trying to get into other venues to help with this discussion. West Hawaii Today is going to publish it and hopefully we can get others to publish more articles regarding this issue of guns in Hawaii... which since the days of my birth, back in the 1940's, almost every plantation home had a gun.

Another aspect of this that we are trying to enlist other sportsmen to get involved, just as we need to involve ourselves in their issues as well, and they are embroiled as thoroughly as hunters are in resources and issues. I'm trying to get Hawaii Fishing News to give us some help in how to unite sportsmen here in Hawaii and maybe even consider a sportsmens rally at the Capitol to think about..

Much Aloha....
