U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Last week marked the end of the bill filing period for the 2021 Hawaii Legislative Session. Dozens of firearm-related bills were introduced, with a majority seeking to further limit your firearm and self-defense rights in the Aloha State. Below are a few of the more egregious bills introduced.
Senate Bill 301 expands Hawaii’s current ban on “assault pistols” to include commonly owned rifles and shotguns that contain certain features. Additionally, the bill bans all magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds unless the magazine has been permanently altered.
Senate Bill 523 imposes further limits on the purchase of ammunition by requiring proof of registration for the caliber sought and licensing of ammunition retailers. Under this legislation, a registered firearm owner may apply to add additional calibers to a firearm registration as well as designate an alternate for ammunition purchasing privileges.
House Bill 251 and Senate Bill 307 prohibit the manufacture, possession, sale, barter, trade, gift, transfer, or acquisition of any firearm or rifle with the “capacity to fire ammunition of fifty caliber or higher.”
Today, February 2nd, the House Committee on Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness will be hearing House Bill 534. This legislation threatens the ability to use self-defense in the workplace while casting confusion on the current self-defense statutes impacted by this bill.

I have never understood why we need a state consisting of the tops of a bunch of sunken volcanoes 2500 miles from our Left Coast. The Navy has not needed a coaling station in over a century.
If one takes a look at the crime that is going on in the Islands they will find it is not getting any better as far as property and personal attacks.
I would eat a litter box of cat turds before I’d live in a giant ghetto like the Hawaiian Islands. They can bite me.
for anti-gunners, it’s like testing spaghetti, you throw a bunch agains the wall and see what sticks. They keep throwing multiple new infringements out there, hoping that gun owners will “make a deal” and accept one or two more infringements if the anti’s withdraw the other 7…… one step forward, and two steps backward. if SCOTUS doesn’t stand up and put a stop to these violations of our rights, then our country really is lost…. God bless our troops, vets, and law officers.
