This system, also known as the "Rap Back" system, allows law enforcement agencies to be automatically notified when a Hawaii-based gun owner is arrested anywhere in the country. The governor's office said this system will allow county police departments to better determine whether a firearm owner who has run into trouble may continue to legally possess firearms.
"This is about our community's safety and responsible gun ownership. this system will better enable our law enforcement agencies to ensure the security of all Hawaii residents and visitors to our islands," Ige said.
