Hawaii's highest court ruled Wednesday that Second Amendment rights as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court do not extend to Hawaii citizens, citing the "spirit of Aloha."
In the ruling, which was penned by Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins, the court determined that states "retain the authority to require" individuals to hold proper permits before carrying firearms in public. The decision also concluded that the Hawaii Constitution broadly "does not afford a right to carry firearms in public places for self defense," further pointing to the "spirit of Aloha" and even quoting HBO's TV drama "The Wire."
"Article I, section 17 of the Hawaii Constitution mirrors the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution," the Hawaii Supreme Court decision states. "We read those words differently than the current United States Supreme Court. We hold that in Hawaii there is no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public."

The Arizona is triply a national burial ground, historical memorial and more importantly a reminder to service for a political system now days unworthy of our sacrifice. We continue serving and doing what must be done for our nation DESPITE bad leadership and strive to see those flushed through her scuppers with mix-gender tampons and similar poisoning to regain it’s proper place as the monument to real patriotism it is.
“No offense to Hawaiians, but it sounds like B.S. to me.”
It sounds like Secession on religious grounds to me.
Oh, but wait, there’s more! They are saying the 2nd Amendment specifically is gone.
1. At its core, Aloha signifies love, compassion, and mutual respect
2. It promotes kindness, understanding, and harmony among people, regardless of their background or beliefs
3. The ancient kahunas taught that living the Spirit of Aloha meant sending and receiving positive energy to everything and everyone in your environment.
so, for this court, carrying a gun in public violates the Spirit of Aloha
“The US needs to go back to 49 states”
Went from 48 to 50 with Alaska & Hawaii coming on board in the 59.
I have a theory as to why two were brought on in 1959. Because after Alaska statehood heraldry designers couldn’t figure out how to fit 49 Stars neatly on the blue background, 48 look great and 50 also is manageable with 49 lacked symmetry.
This was discovered right after Alaska was made a state in early 59 they corrected that issue by making Hawaii state 6 months later thus creating a better look for the broad stripes and bright stars.
49 stars fits more neatly on the Flag...
49 stars fits more neatly on the Flag...
7 rows of 7 stars.
A decision by a State’s highest court is appealable to the USSC by Writ of Certiorari. The SCOTUS doesn’t have to take the case but I believe in this case, they would. Its open defiance to the Supreme Law of the Land.
Yeah, just as I suspected, and it has no place in a court of law.
Time to late term abortion some tyrants in black robes.
Huh?
Get out of the states.
Get out of the states.
Yeah!
Actually, 49 stars worked fine. 7 rows of 7.
Reminds me of a time when some states claimed separate-but-equal was just a local custom.
First they burn your house down and then they take your guns. Hawaii sounds like a great place to live. /s
