Hawaii State Supreme Court Openly Defies SCOTUS Over 2A

The Hawaii Supreme Court reversed the dismissal of charges for carrying without a permit today, saying that Heller and Bruen were wrongly decided and the state's right to bear arms isn't an individual right:

"We read those words differently than the current United States Supreme Court. We hold that in Hawaiʻi there is no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public."

This is wild. A court in Hawaii has now declared itself to be above the United States Supreme Court.

well the USCOTUS has no legal authority to DO anything, like send in the federal marshals or the army or reserves or the national guard,, BUT not following the ruling of the USCTOTUS opens Hawaii to legal problems in court and lawsuits..i am not even sure if the USCOTUS can issue Sopenas or arrest warrants..

It COULD open Hawaii up to legal problems, but because it’s a liberal mecca, I seriously doubt it will.

Hawaii should never have been made a state.

Absolutely. They should be independent again. In fact, they should go first to set a good example.

They even quoted a gangbanger from the show "The Wire" in their ruling as to why Bruen doesn't apply to them.
