Apparently, Hawaii is shocked they are part of the actual United States of America and therefore, the rights bestowed to the citizenry apply there.
The Hawaii Supreme Court reversed the dismissal of charges for carrying without a permit today, saying that Heller and Bruen were wrongly decided and the state's right to bear arms isn't an individual right: https://t.co/UpgspZ3dUJ pic.twitter.com/N4vkHUCxVM

The 'Spirit of Aloha' tramples on individual rights. Who knew?
I’m sorry to inform the Hawaii Supreme Court, but “the spirit of Aloha” does not currently supersede the Second Amendment. Their interpretation against an individual right to bear arms is wrong and should be overturned. https://t.co/sHtFhemSMG

"The spirit of Aloha clashes with a federally-mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities."
The 'Spirit of Florida Man' gives all Americans the right to carry guns though, so it cancels out.
The spirit of aloha? Did they miss the history of tribal warfare and human sacrifice?

Maybe the 'Spirit of Aloha' uses spears. We need clarification.
This is so egregious it may get SCOTUS attention.

This may be the worst post-Bruen decision we’ve ever seen.

ctrl+f "spirit of aloha"
"0 results found."
The history of the Hawaiian Islands does include slavery and human sacrifice.

Let's not let facts interfere with their nonsense.

The decision is so grotesque and out-of-bound, I'm wondering if the defendant can recover costs from the state of Hawaii.
The spirit of aloha sounds like they need to be reminded they were conquered.

Maybe they should have had some guns.
The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is protected by the right to self defense.

Hawaii is part of America, after all.
If Hawaii’s “sprit of Aloha” supersedes federal law, Florida and Texas have their own “spirits” that should do the same, no? https://t.co/KBjmuvKcTl

The 'Spirits of Florida and Texas' would be actually epic and possibly should replace all superseding documents, now that you mention it.
This embarrassing language from a Court opinion explains why Hawaiians think @maziehirono should be in the Senate. https://t.co/3MUmmQGGZq

Ah yes the “spirit of Aloha” clause of the Constitution that allows the Hawaii supreme court to ignore or overrule SCOTUS. https://t.co/FuMqYqi0SQ

That should really be on a t-shirt.
