Big Island Gun Buyback Removes 149 Weapons | Honolulu News

The Big Island just pulled off a major safety win: 149 guns—including assault rifles and ghost guns—were turned in during a Hilo buyback, all without questions asked. Since the program began this year, over 2,000 weapons have been removed from circulation, permanently destroyed, and never resold. Officials say every gun taken off the streets is one less threat to families and communities. This isn’t just cleanup—it’s a proactive step toward a safer, more secure island for everyone.
