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

  1. The FBI

  2. The local police department

  3. The Department of Justice

  4. Private companies

The correct answer is: The local police department

The local police department is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchasers in Hawaii. In Hawaii, all firearm sales, including private sales, must go through a background check. The local police department conducts these checks to ensure that the purchaser is eligible to own and possess a firearm according to Hawaii state law. The FBI, Department of Justice, and private companies do not have the authority to conduct these background checks in Hawaii; it is the responsibility of the local police department.
