I grew up on Oahu, and 20 years ago, just to buy a .22 you needed to go to the police dept and get a permit, complete with photo. It's pretty much "Police State" when it comes to firearms in Hawaii. You can count the firing ranges available to the civilian public on one finger, the range out by Sandy Beach on the east side of the island. Tell you what, on Oahu at least, it would be pointless to bother with a .50 cal, I'm sure the range wouldn't allow it since it's not large enough. I think this particular brouhaha is entirely about the right to own a .50 cal, not the practicality of it. And indeed, I'm sure the Police State will have it's way.

I'm sure in Hawaii it will.

And the liberals are trying to shut it down now. The new angle is "stray bullets" may endanger people hiking up the old rail line on Koko Crater. First they posted keep out signs on the trail, gathered in the expected outcry, and blamed it all on the rifle range.

The fact that the range has been there decades with no such accidents is irrelevant of course.........
