The Hawaii State Supreme Court has ruled that citizens do not have a right to keep and bear arms under the state constitution, overturning a lower court's decision. The court cited the 'spirit of Aloha' and the state's interest in reducing firearm violence, arguing that a freewheeling right to carry guns degrades other constitutional rights like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This ruling directly contradicts landmark US Supreme Court decisions like Heller, McDonald, and Bruen.
