The Hawaii Supreme Court recently said (paraphrased) "the US Constitution doesn't apply in Hawaii" in a 2A case. Instead, "the scriptwriters for 'The Wire' are our guiding light."
"HONOLULU — A ruling by Hawaii's high court saying that a man can be prosecuted for carrying a gun in public without a permit cites crime-drama TV series "The Wire" and invokes the "spirit of Aloha" in an apparent rebuke of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that expanded gun rights nationwide.
"The thing about the old days, they the old days," the unanimous Hawaii Supreme Court ruling issued Wednesday said, borrowing a quote from season four, episode three of the HBO series to express that the culture from the founding of the country shouldn't dictate contemporary life.
Authored by Justice Todd Eddins, the opinion goes on to say, "The spirit of Aloha clashes with a federally-mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities.""
