I'm not a gun owner (although I am looking at picking up an xdm 9mm in the future) but I don't see too much wrong with hawaiis gun laws. Sure, I think the "assault pistol" laws are a little silly, but nothing I can't live with.
My real quarrel with hawaiis laws in general seems to be the inability to defend yourself with whatever weapon. Sorry, but if someone breaks into my house when I'm home, I shouldn't be on the hotplate for defending my home and person. Thats just crazy. Also from what I'm hearing, stun guns and pepper spray (most of the time) is illegal as well. I'm not big on concealed carry, but thats way over the line. It blows my mind that some state legislators were sitting around and decided that is justice.
