"Hawaii?s Supreme Court refused to follow U.S. Supreme Court precedent
on gun rights in an opinion released on Wednesday, declaring that ?the
spirit of Aloha clashes? with the Second Amendment, which guarantees
Americans an individual right to bear arms.

The declaration was made in a decision ruling that a man charged with
carrying a firearm without a permit in the state back in 2017 could
still be held criminally for that infraction despite a recent Supreme
Court decision, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen,
that ruled that New York?s concealed-carry application system was
unconstitutional.

Its decision was based on the Court?s interpretation of Article I,
Section 17 of Hawaii?s constitution, which ?mirrors the Second Amendment
of the United States Constitution.?

?We read those words differently than the current United States Supreme
Court. We hold that in Hawai?i there is no state constitutional right to
carry a firearm in public,? began the Court at the top of its opinion
before going on to assert that ?the spirit of Aloha clashes with a
federally-mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly
weapons during day-to-day activities.?"

Ah, liberals. You can always count on them to ignore the Constitution. They
do’t need no steenkin’ Constitution.

Like everything else, the retrumplicans only pay lip service to the
concept of state's rights.
