It's that time of year again, the start of the 2021 Hawaii Legislature.  It's muted this year due to COVID so no opening day festivities and no speeches or guidance given by the Senate President and House Speaker.  The Capitol is expected to be closed for the entire session so it will written testimony or Zoom video-conference oral testimony.  This does give more opportunities for people on the outer islands to give oral testimony and may be easier for working persons to attend.

COVID emergency?  Nah perfect time for more gun control!
"Rhoads said there’s a good chance that stricter gun control measures could clear the Legislature. Last year, he introduced a measure that would prohibit people from buying ammunition without proof of a registered firearm.  Gun protection legislation is a prime example of things we can move because there’s really no money involved,” Rhoads said.

This year will be difficult for us as we cannot rally at the Capitol and stronger anti-gun legislators were elected to office.  However to our advantage we have potentially favorable gun rights rulings coming up in the 9th Circuit Court regarding high capacity magazines, "assault weapons", ammunition restrictions, and open carry.

HIFICO will be holding a live webinar and FB live event on Wednesday February 3rd at 6pm to go over the upcoming bills and how you can help.
