A lot of it has to do with individualism vs community minded mentality like Japan where they have a small fraction of the fatalities as the US.  In Japan they follow the rules for vehicles and pedestrians as they put community first.  In ths US, it's basically do whatever you want and complacency as far as speeding, phone use, jaywalking, DUI, etc.

For Ebikes and kids, there isn't a strong push to encourage training and mentorship, along with bad parenting.  I don't agree with helmet and seatbelt laws, but I think it's stupid not to use one.

I'm supporting this guys lunchwagon.  He has a good story of turning his life around and the burgers are very high quality and good, tho a bit expensive.

Tucked in the corner of Mokauea and Hau St., in the area of the green Ross appliance store in Kalihi.    M-Sat 10 to 2.  Lots of parking.

Brave teacher.  And father.

I gotta do research as to why the majority of these shooters are teenagers or young adults.

In Mililani Mauka my grandaughter's elementary school locks the back gate and only opens it up about 10 minutes before the bell rings for end of school so parents can enter to pick up their kids.

What bothers me is my grandson is going pre-school at another Mauka elementary school and when I go to pick him up the back gate is always open.

Usually past trauma from bullying and harassment at school.  And they blame their current life's troubles for what happened in the past.

44rds of 12ga is a lot to carry.  The Maverick 88 pump-action shotgun, depending on model, has a 5rd or 7rd magazine, most likely the 5rd model.  Hard to imagine the perp kid firing 15rds of 12ga in his 4-minute killing spree, woulda had to reload, perhaps twice.  He must've been practicing that.  His mom bought him the shotgun in August for his birthday, just a couple of months ago.  Could be that the teacher who threw her phone at him and then tackled him, he was reloading?  Kaylub Giamanco apparently came upon the perp while he was wrestling with the teacher.

44 rounds aint too bad, it's just 2-25shell boxes.  Think the shooting in the classroom was only for a minute or two which must've been fast reloads.  Since a teacher was killed in the classroom and he shot 15 rounds with 1 to 2 reloads, I'd assume the teacher that saved the day came from elsewhere which adds to the heroism and courage.  She performed John Correia (from ASP) 5 D's for disarms:

PLUS 1: Distance — First, close the distance between you and the weapon
Deflect — Step off the X while gripping the attacker’s weapon and hand, and pushing it to the side away from you
Dominate — Take command of the situation
Distract — Divert the attacker’s attention
Disarm — Simple, fast, full-throttle; separate the weapon from the hand
Disable — Kick, punch, whatever is necessary to immobilize the attacker

So if this happened here - one of us with a CCW license entered a school and killed the shooter - would they prosecute their evil law?


It falls under the choice of evils.  If you have to break a law to save a person's life, it would fall under this.   Like shooting someone in self-defense. Not just from guns, but also breaking into home to save someone from a fire.  It's an affirmative defense, so the defendant has to prove it in court.

Events / FNRA Banquet Kona Oct 24th
« on: October 17, 2026, 02:37:03 PM »
For those on Hawaii Island or want to fly over, come see us there!

Visit Jason Wolford and Todd Yukutake at the Friends of the NRA banquet in Kona on Oct 24th at the Kona Elks Lodge.  Good food, auctions, and raffles, with the proceeds supporting 2nd Amendment programs such as youth & school shooting programs, marksmanship programs, and range improvements.  Tickets are available at www.friendsofnra.org.

Jason Wolford recently won at the US Supreme Court in June 2026 to overturn Hawaii's "vampire rule" requiring express consent to CCW on private property.  Todd Yukutake is petitioning for an appeal to the US Supreme Court to overturn Hawaii's requirements for firearms inspections and 30-day handgun permits, and will create a precedent to overturn other firearm acquisition requirements.

Also accepting donations for my SCOTUS appeal in Yukutake v Lopez.  It will cost us $10,000 just to file the request for an appeal. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/yututake-v-lopez-donations

It would be difficult to bring it back on the federal side since congress removed the tax, and one of the circuit courts ruled it was unenforceable.  Difficult for the feds to enforce something differently between different regions.

I'm not a legal expert so I see it from a different lens.  I still feel he should rake leaves or something.  He's getting paid for doing nothing. 

When it comes to tax monies that I feel are being abused, I get irrational.  Happens too many times on the local and federal level.

All that monies could have cured the nation's and state's ills, LOL.

I agree, missed that part about raking leaves earlier.  Maybe something more substantial with his position like doing outreach in the community like giving speeches at schools, public service announcements, work on policies, research stuff, etc.

The pay is justified at this moment since the Chief isn't under investigation himself and no evidence was presented.  The police commission could investigate and blame the chief for the lack of oversight on the unit

There were calls to suspend him in the past for the Diddy Combs incident that turned out to be nothing.

Bought 60 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense 223 for $97.  Was expensive but figured I'm way overdue on buying home defense rounds instead of using the typical M193/M855 ball.

No firearm(s) recovered but charged with firearm offenses and second degree murder.

I will never understand how the justice system works.

Grand juries just need probable cause to indict, it probably happened.  A video of the act would surely meet that.  But if what the defense says is correct, then it'd be on the low end of that border.

General Discussion / Kailua fair shooting
« on: October 02, 2026, 01:02:20 PM »
For one thing, that's a tough first name to say.  Defense does bring up some good points for witness issues and that a gun was not recovered.  Wonder if they have video evidence.

It's unusual in that a woman with no history, turned themselves in, and has a legally registered gun committed a crime like this.  If they did the shooting, usually they'll claim self defense but they did not here.  Very interested in the State's evidence.


Hilinaikailimakualopali Keeno is charged with second-degree murder and two firearms offenses in the case of a deadly Kailua shooting over the weekend.

Do these "other states" affected provide any financial support ?

The other states join together in the pro or antigun side and usually provide an amicus brief, friends of the court brief, to provide evidence and support.  These briefs then are incorporated into the final scotus opinion.
