Defiant Hawaii Ruling Proves Anti-Gun Democrats Have No Problem Nullifying Supreme Court Decisions

Insurrectionist judges declare independence from the nation’s highest court… to strip away your gun rights. And it won’t end in Aloha-land.

In a unanimous decision on Feb. 7, the Hawaii Supreme Court decided disregard three pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decisions to strip Hawaiians of their Second Amendment rights—and undermining our nation’s foundational principles protecting individual liberties.

The ruling in State of Hawaiʻi v. Christopher L. Wilson stated an individual’s right to carry a firearm is not protected under the Second Amendment. And they knew they were defiantly overruling the Supreme Court’s prior landmark decisions in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, McDonald v. City of Chicago, and District of Columbia v. Heller—with the Democrat justices opining that the nation’s highest court “handpicks history to make its own rules.”

The decision followed a lower court ruling that dismissed charges against Christopher Wilson for carrying a gun in the state, an action he argued was protected under the Bruen decision—which clarified every American’s individual right to carry a firearm.

“Conventional interpretive modalities and Hawaiʻi’s historical tradition of firearm regulation rule out an individual right to keep and bear arms under the Hawaiʻi Constitution,” the justices wrote in the ruling. “In Hawaiʻi, there is no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public.”

The justices believe that “contemporary” society should not pledge allegiance to the Constitution when it comes to culture, realities, laws, and understanding of the founding era, according to the ruling. The decision sets a dangerous precedent for Second Amendment rights that remain under attack by “progressive” lawmakers and the Biden administration’s policies.

If the Hawaii Supreme Court is able to defy the Supreme Court of the United States simply because they believe the Second Amendment clashes with the “spirit of Aloha,” it is plausible that other blue states will do the same for their own “reasons.”

“While the Supreme Court of Hawaii is free to determine—apparently through the power of the ‘Aloha Spirit’–that its own identically worded state constitution affords protection for only a collective right, it is not free to override the meaning afforded by the U.S. Supreme Court in Heller, McDonald, and Bruen to the federal constitutional right to keep and bear arms,” Amy Swearer, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Picking and Choosing What Suits Them Best

In January, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) defied a Supreme Court order to remove barbed wire fences along its southern border, saying Texas’s constitutional right to defend itself outweighs federal law.

Numerous Democratic lawmakers and activists criticized the decision, saying the state was weakening the influence of the Supreme Court and setting a dangerous precedent while cutting off aid to illegal immigrants. But just a month later, when the tables turned and Hawaii threw the Second Amendment out the window, “progressives” applauded the court’s defiance.

What is the difference? Hawaii followed the “progressive” narrative against guns, and Texas was working to stop an invasion caused by the Biden administration’s open border policies.

It isn’t shocking to see where the Left’s loyalties lie. They have repeatedly failed to protect law-abiding Americans under the guise of being “progressive.”

Since President Joe Biden took office in 2020, an alarming number of nearly 2.3 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border, as reported by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). And as the situation continues to escalate, Biden would rather impose the federal government on Texas, remove barbed wire fences, and fund refugee camps than take necessary action to protect Americans.

Texas defied a Supreme Court order, but they had no other choice to defend themselves from an invasion, as is their constitutional right. An imminent threat requires immediate action.

Throughout all the turmoil, Biden still refused to discourage further immigration into the country. “The federal government has not done anything as far as trying to discourage illegal immigration, especially those that want to cross a dangerous river,” said Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) spokesperson Lt. Chris Olivarez.

If the Hawaii Supreme Court showed us anything, it is that the Left will applaud unconstitutional action to appear “virtuous” but will not take the proper steps to defend Americans under attack. Texas was left to fend for themselves, and rightfully denied a Supreme Court order that would leave law-abiding Americans open to an influx of illegal immigrants.

“Texas is doing what they should do,” said Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R). “The people of Texas are going to respond favorably to anything Texas can do to try to step up the tide.”

They Will Never Be Satisfied

The Left is crusading against our Second Amendment rights, and if we have learned anything, it is that they will not stop. The Hawaii Supreme Court decision provided a glimpse into the mechanism that is “progressive” thinking—and it’s applied to numerous different topics.

They will applaud a blue state throwing out multiple Supreme Court rulings about the Second Amendment, just because they don’t believe carrying a firearm matches with the “spirit of aloha,” but will bash a red state for doing its best to protect its citizens and the United States as a whole.

Americans are tired of “progressive” hypocrisy.
