Thanks, Dan, and even if you had asked for an account sign-up, I would have, since you’ve proven to me you could be trusted.

You could even do an optional one here, where a registered account ‘locks’ a particular user name from being hijacked by another fraudulent user…

In reply to LKB.

“Heck, I would not be surprised if SCOTUS granted cert and summarily reversed, or grants cert and sua sponte stays the SCOHawaii decision pending appeal.”

While they *could*, I really hope Thomas wants to take a big-assed swing at this one, and gives them something to really cry about… 😉

In response to this audacity, I want to see a court just blatantly say Miller doesn’t apply because it’s a criminal fraud and not a case of US law.

Hey, comments finally enabled! Thanks Dan!

I cannot imagine an easier case for SCOTUS. While the Hawaii Supreme Court is free to interpret its state constitution however it wants, it simply cannot contradict SCOTUS on the Second Amendment. Even the three dissenting justices in Bruen would likely join in it, saying “while we also think Bruen is wrongly decided, it’s the law and states cannot purport to opt out of it.”

Heck, I would not be surprised if SCOTUS granted cert and summarily reversed, or grants cert and sua sponte stays the SCOHawaii decision pending appeal.
