Just kill the bees.  Liquid Sevin works real good. 

And for the first time since the TMT protest started, I saw a white Silverado flying those two flags but he had them right side up.  Did he not get the memo or does he realize the Hawaiian people not in distress?

I saw 3 blingy pickup trucks with upside down flags when I was driving home from the range yesterday.
That does not equate with being in "distress" as an upside down flag is supposed to represent.
One of the trucks had illegal oversized tires that probably cost more than my kid's college tuition.
They also had LED lights inside the wheel wells.
 Is that a new kind of distress signal? :rofl:
Or perhaps it is so they can admire those tires at night since it cost them their last paycheck.

Why do you equate a nation in distress from a purely an economical/financial perspective?

Just because a few Hawaiians had the means to acquire and dress up their vehicle the way they like it does not mean their nation is not in distress.  Need I remind you that Hawaiians are almost at the bottom of every socio-economic metric in Hawaii.

The same could be said of 2nd Amendment advocates living in Hawaii in regards to the 10rds handgun magazine capacity limit for non-military/LE.  Why are civilians in distress of not being allowed standard capacity magazines when the so-called Hawaii state government allows all types of semi-auto handguns to be owned?  Obviously, civilian gun owners are in distress because it indirectly encroaches the rights of civilians to benefit from the full potential of the handgun they choose.

Since you are the Obama admirer on this forum, I guess I should have known you would make a rebuttal statement like that.

I can assure you that there are a number of gun enthusiasts that are not only in distress, but are fuming at the gun control restrictions that have been enacted in Hawaii.

speak for yourself and your self-loathing. So what if we don't have more than 10 round mags. The only oppression and distress is the result of your own perception. While you see occupation the prosperous and happy Hawaiians (and other people of this State) see opportunities. I can't think of a better REAL place to be. That could be anybody in that music vid; all iced up; raining cash. You just have to work for it. All this victimhood, talk of racism, oppression are pages from the Dems playbook - and you fell for it.

Well, why don't you go to Zippz, the HRA and the HDF and tell them that they all should just chill out and forget organizing the 2nd Amendment community into fighting for gun rights.

I guess possessing standard capacity handgun magazines and having concealed/open carry is not important to you as others in this forum.

Well, it is important to me and I am very confident it is very important to many on this forum as well as to the people and the organizations I listed.

No. I don't have to do jack shit. Why don't you since you are feeling distressed.
I don't see them flying flags upside down because of 2A rights issues.
We are not in distress and I'm not flying ANY flag upside down for not having 10 round mags.

That's your opinion.

Guess what, the gun show is coming up so here's your chance to go to the booths and people there and tell them they should not be in distress, but happy as hell not having standard capacity magazines.  According to you, 10rds is good enough.

I never said 10 rounds is enough. I don't agree with the laws but again, we are not in distress. I am happy. I wouldn't be happy if everything in my life I felt was "distressed". "MY chance" ? Well, thank you very much snowflake.  Again, I live in a country of freedom. I don't have to do jack shit that I don't want to do. I'll tell all those pro 2A organizations good job  :thumbsup: They are friendly, happy people and don't seem to be in "distress". They wouldn't fly the US flag in distress either.
