Hawaii legislators are already working to fully repeal the Second Amendment. Breitbart reports:
Hawaii State Senate Democrats issued a resolution last week to “repeal or amend” the Second Amendment.
The Foundation for Economic Education reports the resolution urges the U.S. Congress to “adopt a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution” to clarify that the Founding Fathers never intended to protect an individual right to keep and bear arms.
The Democrat lawmakers contend that the Second Amendment was actually put in place to protect a collective right, tied to militia service. They claim the amendment was added to the Bill of Rights “only to restrict the United States Congress from legislating away a state’s right to self-defense.”
The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) reports that Hawaii’s Democrat lawmakers are also considering a number of gun control bills at this time, among those being a bill allowing the confiscation of firearms.
This argument has already been thoroughly debunked, as all Americans, whether in the militia or not, have always had firearms since the first Europeans settled the continent. Leftists’ quest to radically restructure America is alive and well.
Enough of these Politicians everything they do is only for themselves , What do you say we have a vote and get rid of the Senate and Congress ? Don’t do there jobs to begin with and there salaries would get us out of debt in no time !!!!
The only way forward from this truly, un-american political/socialistic crap going on in america today, including the 2nd amendment is to hang onto your guns & vote these idiots out of power & hope that president Trump can stop this invasion of our country by the south & central american immigrants & the cartels. It is really sad that all of the so-called young voters & politicians that are proposing this trash haven’t been taught the history of our countries last 80 years & world war 2 & all of the millions of our countrymen that have served in our armed forces all around the world that died keeping us safe, or the factory workers that worked every day to build the equipment needed to defend our country from tyranny!
Extract from Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith
Paris Nov. 13. 1787.
the people can not be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong [. . .] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure.
Our Constitution also gives the right of the American people to remove their government if it does not meet there expectations. My opinion, this Socialist movement. By force if necessary. I believe this was also part of the 2nd Amendment rights given to us by our For-fathers!
{{An examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution; Pamphlet, 1787}}
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed.” — Noah Webster (1758-1843)
In 1982 The Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, Committee of the Judiciary, 97th Congress, did a comprehensive investigation of the 2nd amendment and its historical underpinnings. Upon its conclusion a 100 plus page report was issued, which came down solidly on the veracity of the second amendment and its intent, that being that the second amendment was intended as an individual right to keep and bear arms. as stated by Noah Webster above, who was reporting from the scene of the 1787 Convention.

Do the maudlin ratings/ravings of some Hawaiian political types create an actual danger to The Second Amendment? I would not think so.
Should be rantings, pardon my poor typing, which once upon a time was pretty good. Unfortunately, while some red wines improve with age, whisky too, my typing hasn’t.
I think we should demand a sentence of hang by the neck till death to anyone to even suggest such stupidity. Think about it, you have the second amendment in the constitution for one reason and one reason only. That is to protect yourself from a tyranny government. and when a person in the government tries to take away your right to have a gun, at that moment they become a tyranny government and all u s citizens have the right to shoot that person dead.
I refer you to Thomas Jefferson’s ‘Tree of Liberty’ letter.

Only liberal dems could interpret the Constitution that way.The same holds true for the alleged “separation of Church and State”, which also cannot be found in it!
they can say what they want but when the constitution was wrote going hunting was the way a lot of people did to survive so the 2nd is there for protection and hunting and everybody that carries a gun legally is part of law enforcement and protection of our country
The 2nd Amendment (really an acknowledgement of a basic God-given RIGHT) has NOTHING to do with hunting and EVERYTHING to do with protecting ourselves from an overreaching, tyrannical government!
YES SIR !!!!!
The Constitution of the United States sets forth the rules and conditions to amend the Constitution. So long as those rules are followed any attempt to amend the Constitution is legitimate. It is up to the voting public and the State legislators to make this happen; or to prevent it from happening. That is how democracy works.
Hawaii is just one state of fifty. There is a very long road from Hawaii’s suggestion to a true Constitutional amendment. This is all part of the democratic process. If enough people are upset with any change of governance, e.g. elimination of an Amendment, another amendment can be proposed and passed to nullify the amendment; or, as the Founding Fathers envisioned it, a violent revolution could settle the issue (see the Declaration of Independence for details.)
Don’t get democratic and democrat mixed up, there is no resemblance.
If the citizens of Hawaii that do not want the Right to Keep and Bear Arms do not have to go out and by firearms. The people of Hawaii who want firearms should be able to purchases them. That goes for any State. If you do not want a Constitutionally guaranteed freedom then don’t participate in it.; But don’t think, foe one second, because some leftist idiot in Hawaii, does not want people to own firearms, that those of us, in other states, or in Hawaii, who want firearms, are going to go along with any reduction of, or doing away with the 2nd Amendment. Any leftist that wants to confiscate someone’s firearms, should be the first person to come and try to take them. Talk about guarantees related to freedoms, I guarantee you, if the communist Democrats try to take our firearms, I guarantee you that is one method to radically reduce the number of Democrats. I am tired of hearing about how democrats want to destroy this nation through open borders, taking away Constitutional Freedoms, excessive taxes, and the idea those of us that work for a living have to support all of the lazy asses and left wing idiots who think they deserve something for doing nothing. SHOW ME IN THE CONSTITUTION WHERE AM,ERICAN CITIZENS CAN BE TAXED TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS,LAZY ASSES THAT WON’T WORK FOR A LIVING OR WHERE SOMEONE’S EARNED WEALTH MUST BE REDISTRIBUTED, and I will listen to your argument. Screw you democrat communists. I think if you try hard enough to change America, you’re going to get your asses kicked. Screw you Democrats and God Bless America and all of her hard working citizens.
Agree with you 100%. Please send a copy to Pelosi and all the rest of them. I am going to start sending to anyone from California and ask them when they intend to represent the American citizens under the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and the Bill of Rights. More and more of us are becoming outraged and they are going to start something that they honestly didn’t see coming. Patriotic Americans are not going to give up their rights nor succumb to One World Order, Socialism, or increasing the size of the Federal Government. They only want our guns so that the people can’t organize and rise up while they decide to take away everything we have worked so hard for. I think you would be hard pressed to find our military shooting their families because they would not give in to martial law! If they thought that the Boston Tea Party and what followed was ugly, just wait.
Amen!!
AMAN !!!!!!!
No state legislature or the Congress can amend the Constitution. The most that can happen is that the Congress can propose an amendment to the Constitution, but it has to be ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures before it can become part of the Constitution, and yes, the founding fathers knew very well from first hand knowledge what it was like having a socialist government that would take people’s God given right to self protection from whatever the source including the Government itself. Had they not taken up arms against Britain, we would not have a United States of America today. Also, the militia is the people themselves, not a government organized military organization. The founding fathers knew quite well all about what would happen when the government disarmed the people. They lived through that situation for most of their lives. The Demonazis today want to take away our means of protecting ourselves so that they can subject us to their own form of tyranny and slavery. That is what is happening in Hawaii today. I don’t think that those people will allow it to happen, and we all know that there will be no legal amendment to that effect because the people will not allow it to happen.
Screw Hawaii, There going to end up in a big Fire Ball of lava very soon anyway.
Oh, the state of molten lava is concerned about guns? If they chose to opt out of their constitutional rights; we will have to have one less state.
The SCOTUS need to take a gun rights violation case and extend DC vs Heller to the entire nation.
The Demoncrat Party is a left wing hate group populated with anti-Semitic and anti-Christian bigots. They are unfit to serve!
Just more encouraging evidence that the Demo’rat scum are dissolving into madness and desperation. I am wondering if what is happening to them is that they are being abandoned by the demons who were possessing them. Left on their own volitions, they are thrashing about mostly helpless and rudderless.
Let them do it in Hawaii and then they’re there own little country not aloud back in the U S then we could starve them out nothing in Hawaii worth a shit away
Where’re you going to get your pineapples, macadamia nuts, Kona coffee, or Ocean Vodka from? 😉
Guam had pineapples and bananas when I was stationed there in 1958. Did not see Macadamia nuts or Coffee. Vodka was a lot cheaper over there than in the USA. Wake Island still had lots of WW ll war materials along the shore lines. Glad I was only passing through for fuel for the piston prop aircraft.
Who the fuck cares? You think I need that crap to live? STFU
Communists never sleep in order to control the rest of us.
These anti gun nuts violate the second; SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Chip away at it a little bit at a time. They are violating the simple truth; SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED; PERIOD!!!
Gov. Gage tried this in 1775. It did not work then and it will not work now. How do you say Lexington and Concord?
Bang, Bang, Boom, Boom!!!
NO WAY IN HADES !!!
All who report others as unstable to get their guns taken will get their homes burned down while their sleeping . Its called war !
If I report to law authorities that my neighbor is mentally unstable, they can come and confiscate his guns under the Democrat proposals.
Or a disgruntled employee can screw his boss, a estranged spouse can frame their mate……a whole can of worms would be opened with this ignorant bs.
The answer to unconstitutional laws is NO.
