Are background checks required for private gun sales in Hawaii?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for handguns

  4. Only for sales at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, background checks are required for private gun sales in Hawaii. This is to ensure that individuals purchasing firearms are legally allowed to possess them and do not have a history of violence or criminal activity that would disqualify them from owning a gun. This requirement helps to promote public safety by preventing firearms from getting into the hands of those who should not have them. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because background checks are indeed required for private gun sales in Hawaii, regardless of the type of firearm being sold or the location of the sale.
