Push for Stronger Gun Laws After Officer O's Death | Honolulu News
Description
Maui police and community gathered on Honoapi’ilani Highway to honor Officer Suzanne O, who died in the line of duty just days before the one-year anniversary of her tragic death. Now, lawmakers and advocates are pushing to revive the “Officer Suzanne O Bill,” which would make it a felony to carry a firearm under the influence or with a restraining order, and impose mandatory 20-year sentences for felons using guns in crimes. The bill, stalled last session, aims to prevent future tragedies like the one involving suspect Clembert Alii Kaneholani, who has pleaded not guilty and faces trial in September. With sign-waving events planned across Maui this week, officials vow to keep pressure on legislators to pass this critical reform.
