Hawaii’s proposed assault weapons ban was defeated in the final days of the 2025 legislative session. Senate Bill 401, which sought to outlaw high-powered semiautomatic rifles and shotguns with military-style features, collapsed after a tie-breaking vote sent the bill back to committee, effectively killing it for the year.

reported by the Honolulu Civil Beat, this stunning development shocked gun control advocates and delivered a major win to rural residents, subsistence hunters, and Second Amendment supporters across the islands.
The move was met with loud cheers from the gallery, where gun rights supporters had packed the chamber.
