Hawaii HB279 aims to combat gun violence by addressing the issue of "ghost guns" and illegal firearm possession.

Hawaii HB279 seeks to address the rising issue of gun violence by closing legal loopholes that allow individuals to possess deconstructed firearms and firearm parts without accountability. The bill amends existing statutes to mandate imprisonment for those found in possession of unsecured firearm parts, aiming to deter illegal firearm assembly and possession. It also increases penalties for carrying or possessing certain firearms or firearm parts outside of specified locations and in an enclosed container.
