BREAKING: Hawaii’s Firearm Laws Challenged in Fe

BREAKING: Hawaii’s Firearm Laws Challenged in Federal Court!

Today, a brave Hawaii resident, Billy Peter, has taken a stand for Second Amendment rights by filing a federal lawsuit against the State of Hawaii! The lawsuit challenges the unconstitutional denial of firearm ownership to law-abiding COFA residents. 🛡️

Hawaii’s restrictive laws make it impossible for COFA citizens—legal residents under the Compact of Free Association—to exercise their fundamental right to self-defense. These laws not only violate the Second Amendment but also the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by discriminating based on immigration status. ⚖️

The Hawaii Firearms Coalition stands firmly in support of the plaintiff, and his attorneys (Alan Beck and Kevin O’Grady) who are fighting for equal rights for all law-abiding residents. 🗽 Every individual deserves the ability to protect themselves, their families, and their homes.

This case follows past major victories in firearm rights, including Fotoudis v. Honolulu, and Roberts v. City of Honolulu. which overturned similar bans for permanent residents. Yet Hawaii continues to trample on constitutional freedoms. It’s time for change! 🔥

💬 Join the fight. Share this post and spread the word. Together, we can hold Hawaii accountable for its unconstitutional laws!

Hawaii Firearms Coalition Cheers on Lawsuit Defending Young Adults’ Rights to Bear Arms

Honolulu, Hawaii — Let freedom ring—loud and clear! Hawaii Firearms Coalition (HIFICO) is pumped to throw its support behind a groundbreaking lawsuit challenging Hawaii’s unfair ban on firearm ownership for adults under 21.

This case, filed by attorneys Kevin O’Grady and Alan Beck on behalf of the Second Amendment Foundation, local gun shops, and some brave young adults, takes aim at the state’s unconstitutional restrictions that stop responsible citizens from protecting themselves and exercising their rights.

Imagine being old enough to serve in the military, vote, and pay taxes, but being told you can’t defend yourself or your family. Yeah, we don’t think so either! This lawsuit is about fairness, freedom, and upholding the Constitution. The Second Amendment doesn’t come with an age limit!

The lawsuit argues that Hawaii’s age-based restrictions on firearm ownership trample on the rights guaranteed by the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. This isn’t just about the plaintiffs—it’s about all of us. We stand with the young men and women who are fighting back, This case is about empowering law-abiding adults to exercise their rights. It’s about saying, ‘Hey, Hawaii! Follow the Constitution!’”

HIFICO believes this lawsuit will not only restore rights to young adults but also set the record straight on what the Second Amendment is all about. Freedom, fairness, and self-reliance—it’s the American way!
