In a world far far away... rights exist
« on: August 26, 2022, 10:43:23 AM »
In a world unimaginable to Hawaii residents people are being allowed to exercise their fundamental, individual, unalienable, God-given/natural Constitutionally-protected rights... even if they're "only" 18.

Guessing several Hawaii legislators and bureaucrats experienced the vapors when they heard about this court ruling. "Based on the text, as informed by Founding-Era history and tradition..."... Hey, we can't have any of that! No right is absolute. Common sense gun safety regulations are perfectly constitutional! Because... we said so. Now go take that class that's required but doesn't exist in order to exercise one of your rights.

Huge court victory for gun rights in Texas…

Federal judge says Texas can’t ban 18 to 20 year olds from carrying handguns

A federal court in Fort Worth on Thursday struck down a Texas prohibition that limited adults under 21 from carrying handguns. Texas law bars most 18 to 20-year-olds in the state from obtaining a license to carry a handgun or carrying a handgun for self-defense outside their homes.

Two plaintiffs, who fall within that age range, and the Firearms Policy Coalition, filed a lawsuit against the state to challenge the statute. The suit says the Texas law prevented the plaintiffs from traveling with a handgun between Parker, Fannin and Grayson counties, where they lived, worked and went to school.

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman wrote that the Second Amendment does not specify an age limit and protects adults under 21 years old. “Based on the text, as informed by Founding-Era history and tradition, the court concludes that the Second Amendment protects against this prohibition,” Pittman wrote in the ruling.

May not be our state, but I love Texas and a 2A win is a win for 2A and should be celebrated. I’m here for it
