Gun owners are facing another serious challenge to their Second Amendment rights in the state of Hawaii.
The State Legislature introduced a bill on Wednesday that would increase the requirements Hawaiians would have to meet to continuing possessing a firearm. Specifically, it will mandate that gun owners register their weapons every five years and purchase firearms liability insurance for them.
The requirement to purchase gun insurance is a radical new practice that has yet to be implemented in even the most anti-gun states. Of course, this aspect of the bill is minimized by it’s sponsor, State Senator Josh Green (D-Kona, Ka’u).
“I don’t want to take people’s guns away from them but I want people to take full responsibility,” Senator Green said. How typical of a Democrat to say nobody’s going to take their guns away from them before proposing a course of action that does just that.
But Green doesn’t see it that way. Rather, he sees it in a way that very few Americans do.

crazy
I could care less if people own guns, but the reason they do sometimes makes no sense. Yes the constitution was drafted and and the right o bare arms was born. However, when it was drafted giving that right the guns were cap and ball, black powder guns with munition not readily available. If the constitution was tweaked to reflect modern gun, why would anyone be surprised other things may change too?
Yeah I think we should dump Hawaii anyway kick their asses off one island take it over for our naval base and they can have all the islands around it but will keep the one with the naval base…!
We have become slaves to the insurance companies…
Hawaii who cares.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, says that “Congress shall make no law….abridging (limiting) the freedom of speech, or of the press…” Freedom of speech is the liberty to speak openly without fear of government restraint. By your rational, our right to free press should be null and void because the founding fathers didn’t foresee the invention of radio and television?
No way
But freedom of speech has been stiffed tho hasn’t it? And the big difference is people aren’t taking news paper from their mothers purses and night stands and killing each other with them. Big difference.
sounds like hawaii legislators have insurance stocks to me
a gun is a gun ,a knife is a knife ,a liberal is a liberal ,,see…….no difference
