The terrible mass shootings in Texas and Ohio remind us that we must continue to work together to collectively improve the safety of our community. We cannot become desensitized as we experience more of these horrible and senseless tragedies in communities across our country.
Hawaiʻi is committed to safety in our communities and has some of the most rigorous gun regulations in the country. We continue to have the lowest rate of gun violence in the country.
