Hawaii ( ( listen); Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi [həˈvɐjʔi]) is the 50th and most recent state to have joined the United States, having received statehood on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is the only U.S. state located in Oceania and the only one composed entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is the only U.S. state located outside North America.
The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian archipelago, which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight main islands are—in order from northwest to southeast: Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and the Island of Hawaiʻi. The last is the largest island in the group; it is often called the "Big Island" or "Hawaiʻi Island" to avoid confusion with the state or archipelago. The archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.
Hawaii's diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches, oceanic surroundings, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists. Because of its central location in the Pacific and 19th-century labor migration, Hawaii's culture is strongly influenced by North American and Asian cultures, in addition to its indigenous Hawaiian culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents, along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
Hawaii is the 8th-smallest and the 11th-least populous, but the 13th-most densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. It is the only state with an Asian plurality. The state's coastline is about 750 miles (1,210 km) long, the fourth longest in the U.S. after the coastlines of Alaska, Florida, and California.
It looks like NY is trying to make the SCOTUS abandon the concealed carry case by rescinding the law that the case was about. My understanding is the 9th circuit was waiting for the SCOTUS decision on the NY case before advancing on the Young vs Hawaii case. How do you think this might play out...
Hawaii signs resolution to repeal the Second Amendment
The article indicates a Hawaii Senate resolution to request that the US Congress propose amending the 2A (there's a mouthful) has passed but the HI Legislature's page shows only that it was offered: Measure Status And it was only signed...
If you don't know him, Mark Baird is one of the driving forces behind the whole State of Jefferson movement down in California. If you've never heard him speak he is quite remarkable (IMO) and has a very good understanding of COTUS, the law, history and the visions our Founders had for us and...

I'm glad that the ridiculous Hawaii gun laws prevented felons from owning guns... Oh wait, felons don't follow the law. Who would have thought?
