That was naive, to say the least. <br />Firearms legislation seems to be controversial no matter what its content. <br />1 was somewhat heartened that the National Rifle Association testimony on HB <br />1900 in Judiciary did not object to the concept of aliy gun regulation, but rather that the <br />language was too broad and overreaching. That being the case, perhaps HI 1908 HD <br />1 will, be more acceptable. <br />Thank you for taking up this issue, and I urge you to approve HB 1908, HD 1. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Harry Kim <br />Mayor, County of Hawai'i <br />County of 1 laNvai`i is an Equal)pp t l'rovider and Fmpl()yer. <br />
