Related: About this forumDoes a Federal Database of Gun Owners Make Sense?
Hawaii could be about to make history, but not everyone is happy. The state is now on the cusp of creating new regulations that would put all of Hawaiis gun owners in a federal database.
The idea involves dramatically expanding state authorities access to the FBIs Rap Back service, which is already used nationwide to track people working in a variety of sensitive positions. People on existing Rap Back lists range from teachers to candidates for high-level government security clearances.
If someone on a list commits a crime disqualifying them from their particular qualification, relevant authorities are informed automatically. The system is generally well-received by law enforcement officials.
State agencies have been authorized to use the Rap Back system for more than 40 purposes since 2012, including checks of teachers, daycare operators, Hawaii Health System Corporation employees, and traffic management employees with access to secured areas, read a memo from Hawaiis legislators.
