Supreme Court appears sympathetic to gun owners' challenge to Hawaii law

The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared to side with a group of Maui gun owners in their challenge to a Hawaii law restricting their ability to bring their guns onto private property that is open to the public. After approximately two hours of oral argument in Wolford v. Lopez, virtually all of the court's six Republican appointees seemed to agree with the challengers that the law, which requires the gun owners to obtain express permission from the property owner, violates the Second Amendment's right to bear arms.

This is all bullshit.

Fuck Trump and his supporters.

It's no surprise.

The tea party came about because we had a democratic president. As soon as Trump won they basically disappeared.

The 2nd amendment has entered the chat.

I've been telling right leaning friends for years it's not the left that will "grab yer guns", it will be the right, that will attempt to.

Remember after the Vegas shooting Trump banned Bump Stocks, which later got overturned by the courts.

Not a peep out of the NRA or the Right.

Snoofy was right. The 2A only helps bad guys have guns.

Good guys with guns get executed.
