“The Supreme Court on Thursday invalidated Hawaii’s gun restrictions on private property in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, ruling it violates the constitutional right to bear arms. Justice Samuel Alito agreed with gun rights advocates that the state can’t block handgun possession on private property by default unless someone receives the owner’s express consent. ‘This regime hobbles what the Second Amendment protects: the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives. We hold that the law is unconstitutional,’ Alito wrote. It’s the latest gun measure to fall under the conservative [sic] majority’s expanded Second Amendment test, which requires firearm restrictions to be consistent with the nation’s historical tradition [but not, obviously, with the US Constitution].” (06/25/26)
