• Hawaii's Supreme Court ruled there's no "state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public."
• The court's opinion said the US Supreme Court's 2022 concealed carry ruling "unravels durable law."
• It also quoted a character from the highly acclaimed HBO series, "The Wire."

The creator of the highly acclaimed show, David Simon, highlighted the Hawaii Supreme Court's homage to his work in a post on X Thursday morning.

"Slim Charles was a sagacious motherfukker."

Full quote:

“As the world turns, it makes no sense for contemporary society to pledge allegiance to the founding era's culture, realities, laws, and understanding of the Constitution," the ruling reads, then quoting "The Wire" character Slim Charles: "'The thing about the old days, they the old days.'"

Lol. So Hawaii says the Constitution doesn't apply to them. Fine, hold a convention and revoke their statehood. Let them be a territory.

If one state can do this, what other states can do the same?

"Mississippi, citing the 'Spirit of the Confederacy' no longer recognizes the 13th or 14th Amendments."

the "spirit of aloha" also had kings and slavery, but the gun prohibitionists openly embrace those now. their attorneys have spent a year and a half trying to find historical analogs for prohibition and all they've been able to come up with - which they still shamelessly use in court - is "slaves, black people and native americans can't own weapons, because if we allow them to the courts might recognize them as humans with equal rights."

btw, how many days do you think it would take for a squad of three adeptus astartes to conquer hawaii?

I was expecting that Prop Joe comment when he was talking to Slim Charles about Marlo "ain't easy civilizing that (these) muddafugga(s)."
