Stop Rapback in the state of Hawaii

Donation protected

So as many of you know I am moving forward with Legal Action against HPD, City and State with regards to Rapback, The implementation of which starts tomorrow December 5th 2016. 

 

Rapback is a program that is being implemented in Hawaii and will enroll EVERY GUN OWNER in the state of Hawaii in a federal database. This data base is ran and managed by the FBI (a federal agency) and will be used to notify the Hawaii police departments any time you have contact with the police officer in any state anywhere in the country.  The Hawaii police department will then use this infromantion to decide if you are worthy of firearms ownership and could then seize your firearms from you/your property even if you have not been convicted of a crime, even if you are not in the state (but your firearms are). 


For those unfamiliar with Who I am, My Name is Andrew Namiki Roberts, I am a permanent resident of the United states having moved here from the untied kingdom in 2006. In 2015 i Applied for a firearms permit and was denied based on a HPD policy that would require me to travel back to the untited kingdom to get a background check done on myself and provided it to them at my own expense (somewhere around $4000) This policy was made with the intention of denying non citizens there 2nd amendment rights. I recognized the implication of what they were doing and confronted them, Over a peiod of 3 days i explained them them what they were doing was wrong. they would not budge, So i contacted a lawyer here in Hawaii who handles civil rights cases and we got working on a lawsuit. After approximately 3 months of work and a lawsuit in federal court, HPD settled with me (whilst admitting no wrong doing) and as well as stooping the unconstitutional/illegal policy they also had to cover my legal expenses.


If you would like to read about this lawsuit you can do so here, http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/30504334/uk-citizen-alleges-honolulu-police-depriving-his-gun-rights

or see the actual lawsuit here, http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/Portals/0/Article%20Attachments/Roberts%20v%20Honolulu%202nd%20Amendment.pdf

Now why is this information important ?
I want you to know who i am, That im a real person who is willing to step up when needed to defend my rights (and those of others) I want you to see that im not going to hide behind an online Alias and that I am going to be upfront with things. Why ? Because im going to ask for help. I have spoke to both Rick and Alan, the lawyers who helped me with my previous lawsuit and they are willing to again work with me to stop rap back. But to do so its going to cost money. The minimum amount given to me was $15k, Why so much ? This is going to be a long fight and lawyers have bills to pay. A lawsuit like this can drag on for months into years and although there is a very good chance we can stop rapback it may take some time.

 

So that is why i am asking for you the Gun owners of Hawaii and These Untited States to Help Fund OUR FIGHT, This lawsuit is not for the benfit of me but for the future of gun  rights of each and every one of us. 

 

The funds given will be used to fund the legal fight within the state to Stop the implemntation and use of rapback both in the state and federal courts. 

 

Remmber once one state gets away with it other states will copy and before long the Goverment with have a federal data base of all gun owners and we know what happens after that.
