Hawaii Gov. David Ige signed two new pieces of gun control legislation seven days ago, severely restricting the rights of thousands of travelers entering the state with firearms and imposing potential gun consifactions without due process. Senate Bill 600 effectively raises the minimum age to transport a firearm into the state to the age of 21. This legislation discriminates against lawful, adult Americans who may otherwise travel to the state for the purposes of hunting, target competition, or even relocation.
Speaking of relocation, the state of Hawaii plays host to more than 36,000 U.S. service members who currently live and serve on the tropical island chain. Approximately 15% of the U.S. military consists of men and women under the age of 21. SB 600 effectively targets the one demographic who should perhaps never have such rights restricted.
But the Hawaii Governor did not stop there. Senate Bill 1466 enacts more Red Flag gun laws that have already been seen across the country, which Ige signed the same day. The bill creates a "Gun Violence Protective Order" clause, allowing any individual to report a gun owner to the authorities on suspicion and conjecture. Any issued Protective Order automatically allow law enforcement and courts to temporarily confiscate a shooter's collection of arms without due process or any real consideration of the preponderance of evidence.
IN OTHER NEWS, Sen. Kamala Harris was apparently not content with being out of the spotlight for long. The Californian legislator recently reiterated her promise to bypass Congress and ratify her own gun control measures unilaterally through executive action, should she win the White House in 2020. Harris tweeted: "Gun violence is the leading cause of death for young Black men in American. We must stop this. When president, I will take executive action to ensure guns do not fall into the wrong hands." On April 22, Harris stated she'd give Congress 100 days to pass new gun control measures before she would take her own (potentially unconstitutional) actions.
It appears to me that America's once carefully-protected Second Amendment is quickly becoming more vulnerable and unconstitutionally restricted. In just the last two years we've seen California require background checks for merely buying ammunition, Washington attempted to completely ban receiver blanks and gun-making kits (and was partially successful, polymer receivers are now illegal), and we see elected officials blatently disregarding the will of the people who elected them. Senators like Kamala Harris are dangerous for the Constitution. Let's all work together to ensure she, nor any Democrat with similar tyrannical views, does not take the most important seat on Earth.

We do not know how many there were,
there were numerous cities in the amazon - one was estimated to be around 360,000 many others were about 10,000.
30,000,000 is the estimate of those who died of disease in SAm and over 110,000,000 in NAm
After the mass die off there were only scattered handfuls in SAm and in NAm there were only a few bands and tribes left by the time of Lewis & Clark - most having died unseen by Europeans.
Those numbers are close but it is well documented if you care to do the work. America Before has many of those numbers and sources in the footnotes
I second that - Hawaii is missing the secret ingredient, that turns every land it touches to s**t.
And Don Ho isn’t there to sing pretty songs while you get looped on blue hawaiians served in coconuts.

Nobody whose opinion actually matters gives a rat's ass about natural born citizenship. Or any other part of the Constitution.
Let them speak; let them make demands; let them enact bills; let them come on.
How exactly is she going to take guns away from young black men? Sounds kinda racist to me. She could set up more stop and search patrols in black neighborhoods. She could set up road blocks with car searches.
Me too, FRiend.
Turned 70 & nothing’s been the same.
Why do I hear gun restrictions when she says control?
Maybe if she fellates someone a little more they will tell her how it works.
Probably the scourge of contact with all alien populations: Small pox and STDs..
Agreed but if we didn’t take it somebody else would have. Much better to have it in our hands.
“HI should have never become a state.”
Hell, I said that back in 1960. Alaska, fine. Hawaii should have remained a possession.
Diego Garcia is British; we just have a lease.
US debt owed China is about 1.1T$ in 2019...Maybe we can sell HI for what we owe them?
I'd have to agree with Professional. Back in the '80s I did a short stint at the Kaneohe Air Station putting in some software for their PX. The civilian manager reminded me of a gunslinger in the old Western movies, tall, cadaverous and dressed in black.
He just took over command of the section and came out of his office, asking whereinL was one of the clerks. Someone said he was on "Hawaii Time" (???) He asked what they were talking about and about then, a Hawaiian version of the stereotypical "Step n Fetchit" comes shuffling in, one hour late. "All the Hawaiians are like that." he was told, and he damned near had a stroke. He never could straighten the guy out because he was a minority who took advantage of that protection. I imagine it's much worse now.
From my observation, all the locals had that Mexican mañana attitude and were pist at those who didn't, and who ended up successful.
There were certainly higher population levels in the Amazon than previously thought.
Tens of millions is likely greatly overestimating the numbers.
We do *not* know when they died off or why.
I have seen articles that claimed they died off long before the Europeans entered the scene.
The great plains of North America were nearly uninhabited when Coronado crossed them in 1540-1542. There were much higher populations along both coasts.
110 million seems a very high number to me. They did not have sophisticated agriculture, draft animals, or metal working.
Early Spanish ship-wrecked sailors drifted from village to village, starving.
The premise of very high populations seems to rely on a huge, extremely quick die-off of about 80% of the population. Hard to prove or disprove.
“Doubt that her EO would pass constitutional muster....”
The Hawaiian judge and The Southern District of New York say it’s fine. They run the country.
