Records Section Modified Hours of Operation

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, the Maui Police Department Records Section will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The 2026 Hawaiʻi Legislative Session has officially come to an end, and to the surprise of many, not a single firearm-related bill was signed into law this year.

Under Hawaiʻi’s legislative deadlines, bills that were not transmitted to the Governor by May 8th effectively died for the session. We wanted to take a few days to carefully review every measure and confirm we were not missing anything before making this announcement.

After going through the bills, amendments, and conference drafts, the result is clear: no new firearm restrictions made it across the finish line in 2026.

We believe early public testimony and community engagement played a significant role in stopping several anti-Second Amendment bills before they could gain momentum, while also forcing substantial amendments and changes to others. Hawaiʻi gun owners showed up early, stayed engaged, and made their voices heard throughout the session.

It is also possible that this being an election year influenced some legislators to be more cautious about advancing controversial firearm legislation. Additionally, with Senator Karl Rhoads not seeking reelection, some lawmakers may not have felt the same pressure to aggressively push portions of his legislative agenda forward.

While this year’s session is over, we fully expect additional anti-Second Amendment legislation to return next year. The fight does not end when the Legislature gavels out.

Hawaii Fi****ms Coalition will continue monitoring legislation, supporting legal challenges where appropriate, and defending the constitutional rights of the people of Hawaiʻi.

Mahalo to everyone who submitted testimony, contacted lawmakers, attended hearings, and stayed involved this session. Your efforts mattered.

Great News thank you Both for all you do for for Hawaii and the fight for our 2 amendment rights.

Did Hawaii Get Caught in a Lie During Yukutake En Banc Arguments? Exploring the contradictions in Hawaii’s firearm laws during the Yukutake v. Lopez en banc arguments.

I presented argument at the Ninth Circuit yesterday in Todd Yukutake and David Kikukawa’s challenge to two of Hawaii’s registration laws. Yesterday was a very difficult argument for both parties. I don't think the court knows how it wants to rule on either of the laws yet. The consensus appears to be that the Court does not know how to employ the Bruen methodology in conjunction with footnote nine of the Bruen opinion which says shall issue regimes are typically constitutional. Both myself and the attorney for the other side were questioned intensely on that subject. Its honestly to close to tell. Of course, I will let you know what the Court decides but that is going to be at least six months.

Today’s legislative deadline wiped out a LOT of bad bills.

As of right now, we are down to:

🔥 NINE (9) active 2026 bills
🧟 FOUR (4) Zombie bills from 2025

That’s it.

The field just narrowed — but we’re not done yet. These remaining bills are the ones still moving, and this is where focus matters most.

Stay alert. Stay engaged. We’ll keep you updated as the session moves forward.

Supreme Court Takes On Hawaii’s “Vampire Rule” | Alan Beck on Wolford v. Lopez Supreme Court Takes On Hawaii’s “Vampire Rule” | Alan Beck on Wolford v. LopezThe Supreme Court just heard oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez, a major Second...

Will the Supreme Court stop Hawaii’s stealth gun ban? In January, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez, a pivotal case that will help decide whether Hawaii and other anti-gun states can sidestep the Constitution with lawyerly tricks.

🚨 UIPA REQUEST FILED: SHOW US THE INFROMATION. 🚨

Hawaii Fi****ms Coalition has officially submitted a Uniform Information Practices Act (UIPA) request to the Hawaiʻi Attorney General demanding records on the State’s use of outside attorneys in Wolford v. Lopez — a major Second Amendment case that has now reached the United States Supreme Court.

Let’s be clear:
Cases don’t go to the Supreme Court for free.

This kind of litigation is massive, time-consuming, and incredibly costly. And while we’ve heard plenty of talk about lawyers working out of “love” — or more accurately, out of pure hostility toward the Second Amendment — the public shouldn’t be expected to just take their word for it.

Because no matter what spin they put on it, it’s highly likely that taxpayers are still paying the price somehow.

So we’re asking the obvious questions the State doesn’t volunteer answers to:

📌 Who was hired as outside counsel?
📌 How much money has been spent?
📌 What invoices have been submitted?
📌 What public funds are being used to fight constitutional rights?

If the State of Hawaiʻi is spending public resources to defend extreme carry restrictions and anti-rights policies all the way to the highest court in the country, then the people of Hawaiʻi deserve transparency — not secrecy.

Taxpayer dollars are not a blank check.

We will be following this closely and will publish the results when the records are released.
