Who is responsible for processing firearm registration in Hawaii?

The ATF
The local police department
The FBI
The Department of Natural Resources

The correct answer is: The local police department

The local police department is responsible for processing firearm registration in Hawaii. In Hawaii, individuals who wish to possess firearms must register their firearms with their local police department. This process helps the authorities keep track of the firearms in the state and ensures that gun owners are abiding by the relevant laws and regulations. It is essential for individuals in Hawaii to comply with this requirement to legally possess firearms in the state. The other options are incorrect because: A. The ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is a federal agency responsible for enforcing federal firearms laws and regulations but is not directly involved in processing firearm registrations in Hawaii. C. The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) is a federal agency responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases from licensed dealers but is not responsible for processing firearm registrations in Hawaii. D. The Department of Natural Resources is a state agency that typically focuses on natural resource management and conservation and is not responsible for processing firearm registrations in Hawaii.
