Nice to see DOJ taking another step forward.
I’m also glad to see the word “bipolar” being used by influencers.

Merits Brief Informs SCOTUS on Hawaii’s ‘Vampire Rule’
Upholding Hawaii’s disarmament edict “fails every aspect of the analytical framework established by Bruen,” Beck and Petitioner Co-Counsel Mark W. Pennack argue. [More]
It’s difficult to conceive how the same court that gave us Bruen could agree that the Founders would have been cool with ubiquitous infringements.

None Dare Call It Fraud Upon the Court
Amici the States of Michigan California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia (“Amici States”) submit this brief in support of the State of Hawai‘i…. The Second Amendment permits the States to enact a variety of regulations to combat the misuse of firearms and enables “solutions to social problems that suit local needs and values.”[More]
See, shall not be infringed” means the ratifiers would have been cool with “firearm purchase permit and firearm registration.” Just look at the text, history, and tradi… uh, on second thought, just listen to us Democrat apparatchiks.

That means the City’s “No Firearms” signs, as currently written, overstep the law. They mislead the public into believing that lawful transport — which is clearly protected by state law — is forbidden. [More]
The cynic in me says that’s deliberate.
The realist in me says they are that incompetent.

In the Kapu Tradition
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a motion for summary judgment in a federal lawsuit challenging Hawaii’s ban on the acquisition and possession of firearms and ammunition for adults 18-20 years old. [More]
Great.
But the state has a virtually unlimited war chest, and 2A advocacy groups have to scramble up money from already overburdened activists.
Where are Harmeet Dhillon and Pam Bondi on this deprivation of rights under color of authority?
We’re the Only Ones Hotdogging Enough
‘Handsome’ Hawaiian police dog dies after being left in hot car by handler… “The K9 handler involved in this case is devastated as you would expect,” Mahuna said. [More]
“Devastated”?
Not “fired”?
Not “arrested and prosecuted,” as would happen to any one of us if we killed a K9 in self-defense, and in a much quicker and more humane way?
It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.
This take on the story seems more accurate than the “news” headline.

A Ghost of a Chance
Hawaii Congresswoman Jill Tokuda targets illegal firearms with proposed legislation: the Ghost Act…The Ghost Act wouldn’t actually regulate the ghostly parts of weapons being made by 3D printers, those without serial numbers or registration. Instead, it would regulate the upper part of guns, like the barrel. Those parts are now legally bought and sold over the internet. [More]

Coalition of the Willing
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has joined a 26-state coalition urging the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to intervene in a legal challenge to Hawaii’s firearms law, Act 52, which restricts the carrying or possession of firearms in various public and private locations deemed “sensitive,” such as parks, beaches, bars, and financial institutions.

Good, but there are more pressing issues that affect ALL of us.

You’ve got certifications that establish your credentials and qualifications to diagnose and prescribe in this field, don’t you, Annie? Otherwise, aren’t you abusing your medical accreditation to assume false authority, isn’t that flat-out malpractice, and doesn’t that make you a fraud?
Bondi Steps Up
Stephen Stamboulieh brings us some good news about Pam Bondi and DOJ doing something necessary and good by filing a brief in support of the Second Amendment, noting Hawaii trying to ban guns on private property without specific owner permnission effectively equates to a gun ban practically everywhere. This is a hopeful sign and we need to see more like this.
The challenge is another example of great legal navigation and piloting by Alan Beck.
As an aside, this is how “guntubing” ought to be, a subject matter authority articuately sharing knowledge and guidance, as opposed to mansplaining the work of others for clicks.
And pay attention to this, @ 7:15 in:
The Ninth Circuit needs to be broken up as a court. It’s too big, it’s way too powerful, and it does some really stupid things that we’re going to talk about in my 7 o’clock live tonight where I just lost $400,000 in that case.
That’s something we’ve talked about before.
