HB392 prohibits the manufacture, sale, possession, transfer, or acquisition of unserialized "ghost gun" firearms. This legislation imposes felony penalties for violations, and requires existing owners to serialize or dispose of such firearms by January 1, 2026.

The Hawaii Senate passed HB392 on March 31, 2025 by a vote of 22 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation violates the Second Amendment and the God-given right to self-defense. Banning individuals from engaging in private, non-commercial firearm production restricts citizens from lawfully exercising this right. Additionally, criminalization of unserialized firearms imposes unconstitutional government control over personal property. The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. State governments must reject laws that infringe on God-given, constitutionally protected rights.
