We’re the Only Ones in the Kapu Tradition Enough
“It is deeply troubling that the State of Hawaiʻi has not been transitioned into a military government as mandated by international law. This failure of transition places current police officers on duty that they may be held accountable for unlawfully enforcing American laws. [More]

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. [More]
Good, but there are more pressing issues that affect ALL of us.
In the meantime, Hawaiians can just do what I did for @ 30 years in California…

The Spirit of Aloha
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen led a 26-state coalition today asking the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to intervene and halt Hawaii’s unconstitutional gun ban which prohibits the carry or possession of firearms in designated “sensitive” places, including bars and restaurants serving alcohol, parks and beaches, banks and financial institutions, and other areas.

Why it’s even necessary speaks volumes of the mindset that votes to be ruled.

If It Looks Like a Gunquack and Walks Like a Gunquack
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.

Moms Demand is wailing and gnashing its teeth.
But it’s not like there’s a powerful “gun lobby” in Hawaii. It sounds more like Joy Buenaventura and a few others got the law laid down to them by some consituents who have a vested interest in keeping theirs.

That they can keep fooling people with these is a pretty good indicator of how fundamentally stupid the average Democrat voter is, and Hawaiian Democrats are some of the stupidest.

Veterans advocating for gun safety push for assault weapon ban in Hawaii [More]
Lie much, Captain Chris Marvin? And once again we see the false authority logical fallacy, as if your military experience qualifies you to second-guess the Founders. Besides, the militia needs “weapons of war.” If you weren’t an oath-breaker, you’d be demanding full-auto.
And what’s with throwing unserialized firearms under the bus as your “rebuttal,” Tom Tomimbang of 808 Gun Club?

In the Kapu Tradition
That’s right. In one vote, this bill went from targeting .50 caliber rifles to banning all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, adding new definitions like “assault shotgun” and “fixed magazine,” restricting magazine capacity, and even creating new criminal penalties. [More]
And this crap will continue to happen because SCOTUS allows it and keeps sending mixed signals.

Breaking Kapu Tradition
On January 16, 2025, Honolulu US District Judge Micah W.J. Smith “permanently enjoined” the Hawaii Attorney General from “enforcing (a gun ownership ban) against … COFA migrants.”The ruling in Peter v Lopez comes in response to a November 27, 2024 lawsuit filed by Second Amendment attorneys Alan Beck and Kevin O’Grady. This is the latest in a long string of Hawaii Second Amendment victories scored by the duo. [More]

House Bills 125, 136 and 138 impose firearm storage mandates…House Bill 150 prohibits an individual from lending a firearm to another individual… Senate Bill 174 imposes egregious restrictions on the purchase and possession of ammunition… Senate Bill 128 removes an individual’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms for the conviction OR mere prosecution of trespassing on agricultural land… Senate Bill 308 expands Hawaii’s existing ban on detachable magazines capable of accepting more than 10 rounds to all firearms, not just for pistols.
