A while back, the Supreme Court ruled that things like tasers couldn’t be banned by states. Massachusetts tried and they got smacked down over it by the Court. As they should have.
You see, while we think of “arms” as mentioned in the Second Amendment as being synonymous with guns, it really is more all-encompassing than that. Tasers are a kind of weapon, after all, and they’re covered as well. I mean, when the amendment was written, privateers were a thing, which means privately-owned artillery.
Figuring tasers should be covered seemed like low-hanging fruit.
Bans On High Capacity Magazines For Guns Fail At Legislature - Honolulu Civil Beat
Bills to legalize recreational marijuana and collect more data on police use of force also stall. Reading time: 5 minutes.
Some of the more restrictive measures to further tighten Hawaii’s already stringent gun laws are among dozens of bills failing to pass as the Legislature gets ready to wrap business in three weeks.
Bills that would have banned rifle magazines greater than 10 rounds and any gun that could fire 50-caliber rounds or more have stalled for this legislative session.
Most police reform measures have also failed this session, as have efforts to legalize recreational use of marijuana.
