Who is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases in Hawaii?

  1. The FBI

  2. Local police department

  3. The ATF

  4. Hawaii State Sheriff's Office

The correct answer is: Local police department

The local police department is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases in Hawaii. This is because Hawaii has a unique law that requires anyone buying a gun to register it at the police department. This process includes a background check conducted by the local police to ensure that the individual meets all eligibility requirements to own a firearm in Hawaii. The FBI, ATF, and Hawaii State Sheriff's Office do not conduct background checks for firearm purchases in Hawaii; this responsibility falls specifically on the local police department in the state.
