Democrats Defy Party on Hawaii Gun Control Bill

In a surprising turn of events, several Hawaii Democrats break ranks with their party, voting against a gun control measure that aims to ban assault-style rifles like the AR-15 and AK-47. The narrow 13-12 vote against Senate Bill 401 represents an unexpected rift in a party generally aligned on gun control issues, especially with Governor Josh Green poised to sign the bill if it passed.

The rejection of this bill stands in stark contrast to public opinion in Hawaii, where 75% of residents support a ban on military-grade rifles. Critics, including Erica Yamauchi from the Moms Demand Action advocacy group, argue that this decision prioritizes the interests of the gun lobby over community safety, stating, “Whenever tragedy strikes next, we’ll ask ourselves what could have we done to prevent it.” As Hawaii Republicans push back, the implications of this vote could echo well beyond the island’s shores.
