The multi-island paradise of Hawaii is rapidly becoming an Orwellian political dystopia.
On July 11, Chris Eger of Guns.Com reported that (no shock) the Democratic Governor of the state, David Ige, signed into effect two new anti-gun statutes that not only infringe on the right to keep and bear arms but also stand as insults to logic and common sense.
The first statute, entitled SB600, prohibits anyone under 21 years of age from entering the political boundaries of the state while in possession of a firearm.
Some might call this “discriminatory†of people under 21. But that’s a bit of a misnomer. It uses the process of discrimination – distinguishing between two or more things – to unduly punish people under 21. And it stands as a giant middle-finger-salute to the Second Amendment as well as the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unlawful searches and seizures. It is an insult to the protection of due process that is explicitly mandated in the Fifth Amendment. It breaches the prohibition against the taking pf private property without “just compensation†that is supposedly insured by the same Amendment. It’s a breach of the Sixth Amendment’s requirement for a timely trial by jury, and it is a breach of the Eight Amendment’s prohibition against excessive fines or undue punishments.
--- Which brings us to the second statute, SB1466, the Hawaiian version of the “Red Flag†“Protective Order†statutes that have been passed by collectivists in seventeen states, and proposed in six.
…would allow for co-workers, educators, medical professionals or family members of an individual thought to be at risk of hurting themselves (sic) or others to ask a family court in the state for a GVPO. If granted in a hearing that doesn’t require the subject of the order to be present, the individual would have their gun rights suspended for a year.
