Considering the easiest way to get a gun “illegally” is to buy one in the bordering state with the most lax gun laws and then smuggle it back into your state, yeah, getting one in Hawaii is probably more difficult than getting one in Mexico.
It was always that way, the problem was that they wouldn’t give out permits to anyone.
That’s didn’t feel like a problem. No permits, no guns.
