A federal judge has blocked the state of Hawaii from enforcing a recently enacted ban on firearms on its prized beaches and in other areas including banks, bars and parks, citing last year’s landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanding gun rights.

    But, what if someone sees an undesirable, having a good time, and simply wants to exercise their god-given right to harass them without fear of consequences?

    How do you stand your ground at them without this most basic thing?

      It’s really sad that a lot of Americans think that’s an actual valid argument.

        Isn’t it? I got sad writing it.

        My alternative was to point out that some sharks are black and there are cops on the beaches but I felt this line does a better job. Slightly more relevant.

        It’s not a valid argument, because frankly both harassment and brandishing a firearm are both illegal everywhere in the USA, which means there actually is consequences.

          Brandishing a firearm? Cops will shrug and say if you weren’t shot, there’s no issue and laugh at you.
