What is Hawaii's stance on 'assault weapons'?

  1. They are banned

  2. Permitted with special license

  3. No specific laws

  4. Permitted for military use only

The correct answer is: They are banned

Hawaii's stance on 'assault weapons' is that they are banned. The state prohibits the ownership, sale, transfer, or possession of assault weapons unless a special exemption is obtained for limited purposes such as military or law enforcement use. This ban is in place to regulate firearms that are considered to be more dangerous due to their ability to rapidly fire a large number of rounds.
