Fox News<\/a> reports that Hawaii is working on a law that would submit the island’s gun owners names to the FBI to be entered in the agency’s database so that if a resident is arrested any where in the country, local law enforcement will be notified;<\/p>\n

Even though other states don’t enter gun owners in the database, Honolulu Police Department Maj. Richard Robinson said it will still benefit Hawaii police. Right now, Hawaii gun owners undergo a background check only when they register a gun, so police have no way of knowing if they’re disqualified from owning a gun in the future unless they try to register a new firearm.<\/p>\n

“We were only discovering things by accident,” said Robinson, who helped draft the bill. “They happen to come register another firearm, we run another background check, and then we find out they’re a prohibited person.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s like treating all gun owners as potential criminals. I wonder how many criminals from Hawaii actually commit crimes on the mainland. Maybe there should be a database of people who go to church or speak freely, or some other constitutional right. Journalists’ names should be in a database so that when they get arrested, we’ll all know and they don’t get the protections of the freedom of the press. I agree that convicted criminals should not have the right to own a gun – they’ve demonstrated that they can’t follow the rules. But, I’m pretty sure that they won’t follow the rules to purchase a firearm anyway – so they probably won’t pop hot on a firearms owner database, anyway.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard stories of some states that accessed other states’ firearm owners databases and used it as an excuse to stop and search out-of-staters’ automobiles (looking at you Maryland). I can only imagine how this technology has a potential to be abused.<\/p>\n
