The Supreme Court says it will consider overturning a Hawaii law that imposes strict regulations on where people can carry guns

The Trump administration had urged the justices to take the case, arguing the law violates the court’s 2022 ruling that found people have a right to carry firearms in public under the Second Amendment.

The Hawaii law bans guns on private property unless the owner has specifically allowed them. It also prohibits firearms in places like beaches, parks, bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.

State attorneys argue that they’ve already loosened its concealed-carry permit regulations to align with the high court’s 2022 ruling. They say its new restrictions strike a reasonable balance between gun rights and public safety.

A judge blocked the Hawaii law after it was challenged in court by a gun rights group and three people from Maui. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals largely reversed that decision and allowed Hawaii to enforce the law....................................

I wish more states had laws where guns can be carried.

But I also know these laws would slow down the Courts even to a smaller crawl than they already are with the lawsuits from gun rights folks.

1. Use the same strategy that it's to protect the children that the Republicans used to block porn in some States.

Then watch as 6 SCOTUS Republicans bend themselves into a pretzel explaining why they are only willing to protect kids from porn but not from getting shot by some asshole with a gun at a grade school.

4. Use the same strategy GOP uses to prevent women from getting healthcare

in an emergency.

6. I think they would do that.

Pretzel logic is their superpower.

2. Its a foregone conclusion. They'll overturn it.

Guns must be ubiquitous - everywhere all the time in every corner of American lives. It's the only way to assure the security of a free state.

Yes,

The 2nd Amendment is a suicide pact.

3. GOP hates it that some states are safer than others.

They want all Americans to be 2A sitting ducks.

Of course the Supreme Court justices all have top of the line 24/7
taxpayer funded security. So they are safe at our expense.

5. So, if this gets overturned

and a salesman or someone carrying a gun comes to my house in Waimea, I'd have no legal standing to tell them to lock it in theiir car?

7. We aren't even allowed to protect ourselves from the Holy Gun.

8. Hawaii gun laws

SCOTUS and GOP actually want more mass shootings. If guns are allowed on beaches in Hawaii, tourism, a mainstay of Hawaii's economic success will slow down. Who wants drunk people on the beach waving around guns. No thanks to all those people who voted for the GOP to run our country into the ground.

9. So why can't we carry guns around their houses and their bulding?

Hmm, they want to be protected from them but not for the rest of us to be protected.

10. I think I know the 3 people from Maui

gun humping lunatics. John Roberts and pals drooling over the chance to see more American mass shootings.
