I've lived in a liberal state the past 7 years and I wanted to show those who may not know, how the government takes away your rights without anyone noticing. Well it all starts off with registration. I Hawaii the first push was to require people to register every single gun that they buy. Which means driving down to the police department and waiting up to 4 hours to do so. Next they required annual "permits to aquire". These permits are good for one year and are only good for rifles and black powder guns. In order to get this permit you must go to the police dept and wait for 1 to 4 hours, wait 14 days for the permit to come in, and then go to the police dept and wait 1 to 4 hours to pick up the permit. Then when you buy a gun you must bring it in to register the gun again waiting 1 to 4 hours. You can see how one is deterred from buying any guns. Handguns are even worse but I will leave that out for everyone's sake. I will say that Hawaii is considered a shall issue state for concealed carry. And let me tell you that is BS. There has been only 4 granted permits in the state in this decade. You go through the lines just to be denied for no apparent reason. So why even own a gun if you have to use all your vacation just to register them and you can't even carry them. That is how our freedoms are taken away so do not budge an inch on registration, it all starts there.
