SB600

Expands Hawaii's assault weapons ban to include .50 caliber rifles and assault weapon attachments.

The bill amends Hawaii's assault weapons ban to include .50 caliber rifles and assault weapon attachments. It defines ".50 caliber rifle" as a centerfire rifle capable of firing a.50 caliber cartridge, excluding antique firearms, shotguns, and muzzle-loaders. "Assault weapon attachment" refers to any device designed to convert a firearm into an assault pistol, assault rifle, or assault shotgun. The bill prohibits the possession, sale, or transfer of these items within the state, with exceptions for law enforcement and military personnel.
