Guns in Hawaii

Bottom line it that Hawaii is a liberal state and liberals do not believe in gun ownership period. This is an injustice and an infringement upon my rights. I, Tom Lackey do not have a mental history of anything and to use this situation as a “reason” to curtail me of any firearm ownership is definably a maneuver to take the guns out of the hands of the public. You can not look at it any other way.

Tom, I do understand what you’re saying about your situation.

In reviewing what you have said on this and reading Hawaii laws, if you think that this is about Hawaii being a liberal state, you are so far off base; you need to decide if this is about justice and Hawaii law or political posturing.

First Hawaii’s liberal or conservative or moderate anything is not in play. What is in play is that everyone and I mean everyone including the pro gun lobby are all against you. You have been thrown under the bus by everyone (particularly the pro-gun side) and they are taking turns running you over. That is why you are in the position you are in right now. The sooner you come to grip with that, the sooner you can understand and deal with what Hawaii is doing and get it corrected.

ETA: To ensure no one has the wrong impression of Tom's situation, under Hawaii and 40 other state laws, Mental Illness disqualification/ineligibility amount to saying Stink Eye or honking a horn is a Violent Homicidal Action. It does not mean a person is mentally ill. Mental illness encompasses a very broad range of public feelings that may have nothing to do with the person's mental state.
