Even if the State had the money, HRA would oppose this bill unless amended:  1. Persons turning in firearms must be offered a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of licensed Federal Firearms Dealers in the State of Hawaii and advised that recovering the actual value of the firearm(s) by transferring to a dealer is or is not lawful.  2.  The county police departments shall offer firearms of historical significance to a museum before they are consigned to be destroyed.
