Honolulu police inform legal cannabis users to hand in their guns

By Chris Eger

Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard has mailed letters to area medical marijuana patients with registered firearms, saying they needed to give up their guns and ammo or turn them in to police — and the clock is ticking.
About 30 individuals with cannabis cards have been sent the letters so far, citing state firearm law as the reason to get rid of their guns, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.
“Your medical marijuana use disqualifies you from ownership of firearms and ammunition,” the letter says, advising the gun owner has 30 days to surrender their firearms, gun permit and any ammunition to the agency or “otherwise transfer ownership.” Those wanting to register for a permit in the future, required in the state for gun possession, would need “clearance” from a doctor.
While some areas have pushed mandatory gun registration going as far back as the Sullivan Law in New York in 1911, and just six states currently require registration of some types of firearms, Hawaii is the only one to require the registration of all firearms through the county police chief — thus providing the Honolulu PD with a ready list of those with legal firearms in their jurisdiction.
