Well, the last time I checked, Hawai'i IS a state of the USA. 2nd ammendment rights are afforded to all it's CITIZENS who are law abiding individuals. Now tell me that granny wouldn't have needed a gun to thwart off an intruder in her home and being nearly hacked to death in the middle of the night. Sure the criminal didn't have a gun. He just grabbed a pair of garden shears from outside her house then broke in. If you live in a city, you might have a decent response from the police. If not, then you are left with nothing. Break into my home while my family is asleep, there is only one thing going through my head, and it aint asking the perp if he takes cream and sugar with his coffee. Someone breaks into a home that's occupied has NO GOOD intentions in store for you or your family. How is your response time for the local police down here in Puna?? In an emergency, I think the fire department would show up first. I don't advocate the murder of anyone, but NO ONE will take away the right for me to protect my family. The 2nd ammendment was written to keep the government in check, but you see who's enacting all the gun control legislation and regulation.
