On March 3, 2022, a lawsuit was filed against the City and County of Honolulu. The plaintiff, Michael Santucci, was a naval officer (an LTJG, or O2) with a top-secret clearance, working as a Cryptologic Warfare officer. In Hawaii, all firearms must be registered except for firearms made before 1899 or which are designed to use loose black powder.
During the registration process, in early July of 2021, Santucci truthfully answered that he had seen a medical provider for feelings of depression and homesickness. Santucci was not diagnosed with any significant “behavioral, emotional, or mental disorder.” Because Santucci truthfully answered the question on the registration form, he was told he had to deliver his firearms to the Honolulu Police. He turned them in. The police demanded Santucci receive medical clearance before they would issue a permit to acquire his firearms. Santucci filed suit against the City and County of Hawaii on grounds his Second Amendment rights were being violated, as the police were arbitrarily refusing to register his firearms when nothing in the Hawaiian law allowed them to do so. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii.
The case continued for most of the next 15 months. A preliminary injunction was issued on November 23, 2023. As a result of the preliminary injunction, LTJG Santucci had his firearms returned to him, as revealed by the Honolulu Civil Beat:
When the judge issued the preliminary injunction in November, Santucci got his guns back. Then HPD added more specific fields to its questionnaire. Now the injunction is permanent, banning the old forms for good.

gun registration is against the law... an infringement.
Leave it to the libs to F up paradise. SMH
Surprisingly they returned his guns, rather than having melted or steamrolled them. Or “lost” them.
Guam is even worse. It was a waste of my time and money to jump thru the hoops to have them on Guam, because I didnt have them. They were locked up at the local PD armory the entire time.
Sounds like Australia
Unconstitutional. Period.
Correction, the preliminary injunction was issued in 2022, not 2023.
When were you on Guam? They went "shall issue" in 2014.
Of course, the bureaucracy may still be stupid complex.
Sorta my feeling as well but here we are.
Try to stop them. The Supreme Court recently said citizens are able to carry firearms in NY. Since that, NY has issued more stringent anti gun laws, while the Supremes have allowed it, putting the appeal on hold. We should start following Al Sharpton’s call for “No justice no peace”.
Notice that the Honolulu city council AND the state legislature AND the governor have to approve of giving him the money for damages and lawyers’ fees. I expect he will have to sue for that, too.
2A news.
I don’t really consider Hawaii part of the U.S. anyway. The culture is so foreign compared to the mainland. It’s no surprise this is the home of Obama during his formative years.
Should never have been a state.
The new registration form finds new ways to infringe on your 2A rights.

You were a fool for revealing to them your history of mental disorders, when you filled out the application!
