Maui Alert why spread the false narrative that a firearm was used in a crime ? The photo clearly shows an air rifle, which is not a gun.

The term gun, rifle and firearm are used throughout the story and we can only be lead to believe that this is an intentional step towards misleading readers. What this person did is a serious crime and the truth should be told about what occurred.

How can a gun enthusiast still claim their right to bear arms is more important than public safety?

Paul Harding's answer: All of your Constitutional Rights come at the cost of safety. For example, you would be much safer if I could search houses, cars, and people whenever I wanted to, for any reason, or no reason at all. I'd catch more real bad guys. You know those stories about creeps who ke... ... See more

I visited the Mom's Demand Action rally today to learn about their concerns and meet them. I had a good conversation with a few of them and we share the same end goal, safety, with vastly different ways to go about it. They were concerned with pure safety on the surface which is understandable. However they're missing the deeper understanding of constitutional rights and the reason for having them. Not just the 2nd Amendment, but also others like due process.

I believe that in the balance of rights and safety, rights take priority. The first settlers came to America for freedom despite the risks to their lives from disease, starvation, and war. Patriots fought in the War of Independence to protect our rights and the American way of life. Even today, we value due process rights so much that we let criminals free in order to protect the rights of the innocent.

They see gun owners like a boys club. Irresponsible men with a dangerous hobby. "Assault weapons" are just used for fun. Any talk about using guns for self-defense or to prevent government tyranny is a fanatical fantasy. They also don't understand that things like background checks don't affect criminals who get their guns illegally nor would've made a difference in the recent mass shootings.

As a grassroots organization, HIFICO encourages you to go out and change peoples perception of gun ownership. Take a coworker to the range. Tell people about a hunting trip with your son. Write a story for the newspaper or Civil Beat. Talk to your legislator about gun rights. Talk to members of MDA to understand their views and they understand yours. Start your own gun rights projects. HIFICO will help support you.

I find talking to people on the other side of issues gives me a better understanding of the subject and allows me to strengthen my points. I strongly recommend you do the same too. ... See more

But carrying a firearm outside your home is illegal.

#WATCH: Honolulu police need your help finding two men who robbed a 7-Eleven cashier at gunpoint.

The robbery happened on Saturday at the 7-Eleven in Moanalua. Surveillance video captured two masked men walking into the conveinence store around 3 a.m.

The first suspect in the video flashed a gun at the cashier and demanded money. The second suspect jumped over the counter, took cash from the drawer and stole several boxes of cigarettes, according to police. Both men fled the scene.

Make sure to head on over to his original post and let him know where you stand on gun control.

This "person" cites Hawaii having low rates of gun deaths while FALSELY CLAIMING Hawaii has banned semi auto firearms. Semi Auto Firearms... SEMI-AUTO.

So in one FALSE statement he claims he has no idea what the laws are in Hawaii and by doing so he inadvertently proves the type of firearm had ZERO correlation with the rates of violence and death.

Again I feel like I'm going to have to simplify this:

-Kahele says Hawaii has low gun deaths. TRUE.

-Kahele boasts it's because Hawaii banned semi auto firearms. FALSE.

Many thanks to HIFICO member Kevin for bringing this to our attention and if you see any other members of Hawaii’s political elite saying typos stuff (in relation to firearms) let us know. ... See more

‪#GunControl Works. Since 1992, the ban on semiautomatic weapons & assault pistols in Hawai'i have resulted in the lowest rates of death from guns in the nation. Once elected to Congress, I will work to #EndGunViolenceNow in America.

Getting justice against police brutality in a small liberal town

Our attorney Alan beck doesn’t just do gun rights work he does all civil rights.

In this case an older man who has a shoulder implant was beaten by officers because he couldn’t physically bend his arm enough for them to handcuff him for a traffic infraction.

Met Danielle through a Dailywire article and took her and her friends to the range to shoot and discuss gun rights. I encourage everyone to take a new person to the range each quarter and tell them why gun rights are important to you.

That's the start of changing Hawaii to a pro-gun environment. ... See more

Thank you Todd Yukutake of the Hawaii Firearms Coalition for taking some time to teach me about the historical and contemporary facts on the 2nd Amendment.

I am a small-ish woman who has been attacked in broad daylight. I live in a nice neighborhood but with the onslaught of drugs and mental illness being largely ignored by the City and County of Honolulu, and the state governments there are daytime break-ins regularly regardless of whether there is someone home or not.
I completely understand the need to promote real self-defense for me and my family.

I can’t bring a dog with me to work and pepper spray doesn’t have a good track record on an attacker having a bad trip. The police have told me that in the off-chance they are able to arrest a homeless person (they are difficult to find) they will be sent to the hospital to be treated for their mental and physical illnesses and released back onto the streets, sometimes within the hour.

Guns are the only equalizer that could protect me, and I am not allowed to carry them. ... See more

Kauai Friends of the NRA Fundraiser

I attended the FNRA charity banquet last week at the Kauai Beach Resort. I was surprised by the large turnout which was close to 200. Food was great and there were a lot of raffle prizes and auction items. I won a shirt donated by Hunt Kauai but it wasn't my size. The shooting community donated the items with the proceeds benefiting the junior air rifle teams, shooting ranges, and other grants available for the shooting sports.
These events are also held on the other islands with Maui next on August 24th. It's a good time to meet other people in the 2A community. I met club leaders, store owners, government officials, along with hunters, sport shooters, and other people in the community.
I highly recommend you attend and invite your district representatives , coworkers, and family to experience the good people in the firearms community. ... See more

Also visited Maui Trap and Gun Club who offers shotgun rentals and ATA matches and talked to the staff at Maui PD. ... See more
