Hawaii court says 'spirit of Aloha' supersedes Constitution, Second Amendment

Democratic Hawaii AG hails court ruling as 'thoughtful and scholarly'

Hawaii's highest court on Wednesday ruled that Second Amendment rights as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court do not extend to Hawaii citizens, citing the "spirit of Aloha."

In the ruling, which was penned by Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins, the court determined that states "retain the authority to require" individuals to hold proper permits before carrying firearms in public. The decision also concluded that the Hawaii Constitution broadly "does not afford a right to carry firearms in public places for self defense," further pointing to the "spirit of Aloha" and even quoting HBO's TV drama "The Wire."

This is an interesting one.  Hawai'i, like Native Americans has a history well before Europeans settled.  It's as much Polynesian as it is American.
