When the priests returned Capt. Cook's handgun after he was killed, the barrels were flattened. The Hawaiians of the 18th and 19th centuries did, however, do all they could to get rifles (muskets at the time). Kamehameha employed Isaac Davis and John Young (reluctantly on their part at first) to be his cannon gunners. Mare Amara was also employed as a cannoner. There was a lot of blood spilled. I think after Kamehameha united the Islands, he was looking for peace. Guns are for killing. Handguns are for killing people. The "sport" of shooting is practice to make killing more efficient. The "right to bear arms" was drafted during a far different time in American, not Hawaiian history. Someday, maybe, humanity will grow up or evolve or totally destroy itself.
Lack - I stand by everything I said previously. Owning guns for anything other than hunting food is nothing but macho bull****.
