Hawaii’s gun control apparatus is extreme by any reasonable measure, and it is now under fire from gun rights groups which have banded together to topple the regime.
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) joined the California Rifle & Pistol Association and the Second Amendment Law Center to challenge the Aloha State’s repeated infringements on the right to keep and bear arms.
Hawaii’s citizens are subjected to gun control measures unparalleled in any other state
SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb explained why the organization filed the brief before the Ninth Circuit.
“This amicus brief is part of SAF’s ongoing mission to defend, secure, and restore the Second Amendment rights of Hawaii residents,” Gottlieb declared. “These arbitrary restrictions in Hawaii are unique and burdensome, with no parallel in other states. We urge the Ninth District to either reinstate the three-judge panel’s ruling striking down these laws or rule in favor of the plaintiffs.”
This, the SAF said, would provide the Second Amendment with the respect that it so richly deserves.
Lawmakers pile one indefensible gun control restriction on top of another
For examples of a lack of respect for gun rights, look no further than Hawaii.
When a resident is fortunate enough to receive a permit to purchase a firearm, they must consummate the transaction within 30 days. Then they are required to undergo a police inspection of their weapon within five days.
This is after passing the mandatory background check. Is it any wonder that Second Amendment groups target Hawaii’s anti-gun cabal?
The SAF brief argues that there is no historical precedent as required by Bruen for the 50th state’s system. That is in addition to the clear and egregious violations of the Second Amendment by this and many other Hawaii laws that 2A groups are challenging.
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
