Hawaii Gun Buyback Removes 150 Weapons | Honolulu News

Hawaii Island’s Hilo gun buyback smashed records, collecting nearly 150 firearms—including 8 assault rifles and 9 ghost guns—under a no-questions-asked amnesty program aimed at removing dangerous weapons from streets. Police Chief honored fallen officers as a sobering reminder of the stakes, while participants walked away with Foodland gift cards. All guns will be traced, notified to last registered owners, and securely destroyed per federal standards. Since statewide buybacks began two years ago, over 2,000 guns have been taken off the island’s streets in a relentless push to protect communities.
