Everytown Wants to Represent Gun Bans in Hawaii

This is a remarkable development in a gun ban case in federal district court in Hawaii. Everytown is representing Hawaii. They argued on HI behalf today in the attached. The document is a pro hac vice (allows you to practice in a court you aren’t licensed in) that was signed by the HI AG office, and lists Hawaii AG as the person Everytown is defending.
This is Michael Blumberg’s money at work. The original case has to do with gun bans in Hawaii (so-called “assault pistols”).
He has his own body guards, so you’re on your own. He and his money don’t care about the peasants. I’m sure his body guards carry “assault pistols.”
Remember that if a gun is in common use, the supreme court decision in Heller says it cannot be banned. Full stop. The debate is over. I hope Michael throws away a lot of money on this.

Do you believe the HI court will abide by that decision?
The rule of law in any Democrat-run locale is over.
Even if the specific case is appealed all the way to the USSC, Hawaii’s answer will be “come and enforce your ruling, if you can.”

In testimony in the state legislature on the current attempt to write a law which seeks to ban RKBA while claiming to meet Bruen, the AG cited approvingly restrictions on RKBA enacted by the Kingdom. That highlights an historical problem — the Republic government that sought annexation wanted the economic benefits that accrued from the US Constitution, but were none to happy about having to accept the US Constitution’s liberties. The first 10 Articles of the Republic Constitution of 1894 could be construed as a “bill of rights” and makes no mention of any RKBA as the gov’t was aware and afraid that an RKBA would foster counter-revolution by royalists, as well as a danger from those in unfavored ethnic groups.
Keep in mind the Kingdom owed its existence to the fact that certain ali’i had arms and were able to conquer other ali’i who didn’t — a powerful incentive to restrict RKBA.
