There’s much to be said for speedy trials and swift justice, but not from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The bench is no friend of the Second Amendment, though it is theoretically bound to follow the Constitution and judicial precedent. Justices must have felt they had no choice but to rule against Hawaii’s sweeping gun control laws last week.

Otherwise, they would have carried on their rich tradition of infringing on the right to keep and bear arms.

They certainly took their sweet time handing down an obvious decision. Arguments were presented to the court in February 2023, and the determination was released just Friday.

In Yakutake v. Lopez, the three-judge panel reviewed several controversial gun control measures that surpass even the draconian suppression exercised by California, Illinois, and the like.

First, individuals must obtain a permit to purchase a firearm. Then, the person has only 10 days to legally buy the weapon before the government permission expires.

When gun rights advocates’ legal response was filed against the state, the window to buy a gun was lengthened to 30 days. Again, a completely arbitrary burden was placed on law-abiding Hawaii citizens.

After purchasing a weapon, the person has only five days to take it to their local police department. According to anti-gunners, this is done for safety and registration purposes.

Better late than never, the Ninth Circuit fell in line with the high court and determined that the state failed to make its case. Hawaii’s attorneys argued that the blanket in-person inspection mandate passed constitutional muster.

The panel wrote, “The government failed to point to evidence supporting its conclusion that the addition of a broadly applicable and burdensome physical inspection requirement will materially advance the objectives of the registration system.”

A disturbing pattern is emerging from the 50th state.

Last August, the Hawaii Supreme Court displayed for the country just how radical and out of touch it had become. 

The court twisted logic and gave itself nullification powers it clearly did not have. Hawaii justices claimed that the right to keep and bear arms was historically viewed by seeing the Second Amendment only through the lens of the militia.

That is until pesky gun rights advocates stepped in to oppose stripping these freedoms away from law-abiding citizens.

The Hawaii Supreme Court went out of its way last year to blast the U.S. Supreme Court, particularly over the landmark Heller and Bruen cases.

It declared that Heller “flipped the nation’s textual and historical understanding of the Second Amendment.” The justices also attacked Bruen for what it called “fuzzy” actions that prevent states from carrying out their responsibility “to protect public safety, reduce gun violence, and safeguard peaceful public movement.”

Incredibly, the Hawaii court asserted that the state is different from its brethren in terms of the nation’s history and tradition of gun control regulations.

Citizens of the Aloha State do not feel “that carrying deadly weapons during daily life is an acceptable or constitutionally protected activity,” judges claimed.

At what point are states allowed to trample any of the Bill of Rights but the Second Amendment? The simple answer is they are not. Hawaii is either a full-fledged and equal member of the Union subject to its Constitution and laws or not.

And incredibly, justices unveiled a new legal precedent that should send shockwaves across the nation.

According to the Hawaii Supreme Court, justices worked to balance constitutional rights with the state’s attempts to “contemplate and reside with the life force and give consideration to the ‘Aloha Spirit.’”

This Aloha Spirit apparently supersedes federal law and the Constitution, and Hawaii residents are thus not protected by the Second Amendment. This kind of illegal nullification could destroy a federal system of government.
