Hawaii: Gun Registration Bill Passes the Senate

[Dadtodabone]

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." Sam Adams. Surely the men he was inciting had fewer resources and less cause for hope then we today have marshalled in the defense of our God given rights?

I'm afraid not. The men that Adams was inciting had more *ahem* spine than any of today's wimps and cowards.

Are you refering to our political representatives or the populace in general? If the former I give you Rand Paul and those who supported his filibuster such as Ted Cruz. Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise and the 170 members of the House 'Republican Study Committee" who have raised the ire of Boehner and his ilk by pushing back at "leadership". If the latter I give you the men and women who participate on this forum and others like it across this great country, who rally, who educate, who lead by example in their communities, the men and women who currently serve and those retired from service, in the armed forces of our country. Those who hold dear their oath to uphold and defend the Constittution. Not a wimp nor coward among them.

Of course, the blue states will fall in line, but even in NY they are fighting back. Mayor Doomberg's big drink ban was halted from going into effect by a federal judge and there are lawsuits against NY's absurd gun control law that was recently passed. I think it,too, will be struck down.

Actually a Manhattan based state supreme court judge.

That's even better.

Yeah. Sorry, I thought I'd heard it was a local federal judge.

Hawaii already really has some of the strictest gun requirements in the country. Out of state law enforcement is not allowed to carry.

Under Federal law (LEOSA), out of state law enforcement would be able to carry in Hawaii...

Be careful LEO's. You being given an exception to carry doesn't make it okay to bar the rest of us. If you go on vacation there, and I go on vacation there, aren't we both simply citizens? Shouldn't we have the same rights?

Of course. I think he was just pointing out that any state laws banning out of state LEOs from carrying were exempted by a federal law saying they can.
