Fight erupts over extraordinary state rules for gun purchases Procedure called 'nonsensical hoops'

The Second Amendment Foundation is joining the arguments in court against the extraordinary process the state of Hawaii requires people to go through if they want to purchase a gun.

The organization announced it has filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of consumers who, in Yakutake v. Hawaii, have challenged a couple of "cumbersome" state laws.

"This is a case," explains the brief, "where a state-actor purports to comply with the Constitution’s text and Supreme Court case law, while intentionally undermining the fundamental right at issue. In fact, Hawaii is only engaged in a kind of malicious compliance."

The foundation explained that in order for someone to purchase a gun in Hawaii, he or she "must first go to the police station to apply for a purchase permit. Then the applicant must wait 14 days for a background check. Next, the person must go back to the seller, show the permit—which is only good for ten days for a handgun and one year for a long gun—complete the transaction and within five days bring the firearm back to the police station for inspection."

The filing explains, "Hawaii has erected nonsensical hoops for gun-buyers to jump through to exercise a fundamental right. The passive-aggressive regulations at issue in this case are mirrored by remarkably similar barriers to voting that were struck down by the Supreme Court more than 50 years ago."

Calling a white person a haoli is equivelant to calling a black person the “n” word, or a hispanic a s*ic”.

There is no difference.

Old story.....my Dad died in 88...he had a small swimming pool business. Had a Browning .25 pistol....

The Chief of police in Anaheim, CA was a friend of my Dad's....My Dad wanted him to have it...after he died.

I called the P.D. and told him..I was going to bring that pistol and a rifle...to the P.D. Dept. Just wanted to show him the rifle.

Felt really weird carrying that pistol and rifle into that P.D. I'm sure the Chief let the front desk know,....

The rifle was just a .22...Iver Johnson Carbine. Both those guns worth some $$ now.

I still have the I.J.

The 2nd Amendment was written specifically to prohibit the government from infringing on the RKBA. All governments. In order to deny someone their RKBA, the government must show extraordinary cause to do so.

If a person had to jump through such hoops to vote, such a law would be struck down within a day.

When I lived there the anti-gun hopolophobes were fighting to require STORING a firearm AT the police station. They probably still are.

Or non-Jews called Goyim, Chinese called Chinks, queers called faggots...

Why can't we all just get along? < /sarc >
