Hawaii Supreme Court Rejects Major Second Amendment Rulings in New Gun-Carry Decision

I knew a couple of hot chicks when I was there. Hapas…

What SCOTUS is going to have to do with these rogue courts like Colorado and Hawaii, is summon the majority to appear before them and explain their prima facie unconstitutional actions. Because Heller is absolutely dispositive of the issue, and thusly any state court who attempts to injunct Heller and directly null 2A is directly engaging in sedition.

[StAnDeliver]

The 'author' of this calumny, Judge Eddins.

[Blood of Tyrants]

So if blue states can ignore the SC rulings, then red states can, too.

[Elsie]

... the State had the right to ban the carry of firearms due to public safety.

"Book 'em, Dano! - 'cause it ain't workin' out for us!"

[Elsie]

Golly!

Just like the mainland!

[dfwgator]

Wo Fat approves.

[Lazamataz]

So now lower courts are openly defying the Supreme Court.

This will not end well.

[bwest]

What happens now? What’s the next appeal?

[StAnDeliver]

"Basically, it is 53 pages of justifying why Hawaii can ignore the Second Amendment, in part because prior to Hawaii becoming a State the King at the time ruled that guns could not be owned by the subjects (or something along those lines). The Court ruled that SCOTUS’s ruling in Bruen was wrong and the State had the right to ban the carry of firearms due to public safety."

And then the rotten cherry on top, the Court accusing Wilson of not properly having sought a permit, when permits were not available when he filed his appeal!

I've read it through twice. It reads like a law clerk's idea of an April Fool's Joke:

• Quotes from "The Wire", one of the dumbest vanity streamer projects ever;

• Some old chestnut of a fable from that drunken fool Kamehameha, as if he were some brown Blackstone and not borne of a family of murdering usurpers who had zero use for 'the law';

• And a quote from Kamakau that mentions not guns, not self-defense, nothing but "sleeping by the road without fear of harm" (ban cars!).

The deliberate unseriousness of this issuance should alarm every Freeper.

It is an outrageous 53 pages of injudicial heresy because an American wanted to carry a firearm as he has a God-given inviolate right to do under the Second Amendment.

To think that 2,403 United States soldiers and civilians, including women and children, gave their lives 82 years ago at Pearl Harbor in order for their descendants to deprive a citizen of their right to self-defense, the ugly irony is excruciating.

. “The history of the Hawaiian Islands does not include a society where armed people move about the community to possibly combat the deadly aims of others.”

Beyond belief. EXPEL HAWAII. ITS NOT PART OF THE US AND ONLY GAVE US OBAMA AND UKELELES. WE NEED NEITHER.

“We read those words differently than the current United States Supreme Court.”

---

We read those words differently? Is that all it takes? So if Hawaii wants to reinstitute slavery, the court can just read the words “”Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude... shall exist within the United States” differently?

An interesting Constitutional concept.

[Does so]

Not “possession “, but “territory”.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“ Seems they don’t think or like the idea that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.”

I can think of at least 12 states, some very large ones, and the District of Columbia where that is the case. Once the United States fractures and breaks up, which may not be that far ahead, they’ll make up their own supreme laws.

[Fury]

And there is more and more of this. Several states it seems to me are essentially just running out the clock on, knowing that their rulings will get stayed and reversed in the Federal system.

[Carl Vehse]

The opinion of the Supreme Court of Hawaii is tantamount to insurrection against the United States and, by their opinion, the Court has given aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

[MinorityRepublican]

Blue states are going to declare themselves sanctuaries from the entire Constitution soon.

I agree.

[Dead Corpse]

"The corollary, from the first position, is, that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to congress a power to disarm the people.

Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature.

But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both."
