Honolulu launches online firearm registration page :: 01/05/2022
In response to a lawsuit settled last year, Honolulu has launched an online portal for the registration of firearms. The case, Yukutake v. Connors involved challenging both the 10 day permit validation time-frame and requirement for in person inspection of arms by the police. The issue was that someone seeking to purchase and obtain a firearm would need to make several trips to the police station in order to complete the process. Often times people seeking a firearm permit and to register any purchased arms would have to take time off from work several days to exercise this fundamental right. An opinion I reported on in August of 2021 struck down several of the provisions of Honolulu’s policies. Due to that opinion, the officials in Honolulu have launched the portal which went live recently.

New Jersey vs. Gun Owners :: 01/04/2022
For much of the past forty years and more often at government expense, Phil Murphy has surrounded himself with a well-armed and trained private and public security force, first as a bigwig with Goldman Sachs, then as U.S. ambassador to Germany for Barack Obama, and now as governor of the deep-blue Garden State that narrowly elected him to a second term amidst an unforeseen red wave of discontent at the ballot box. Along the way, his dogma evolved from boardroom idealism to political progressivism, an evolution familiar to those of moneyed privilege and far removed from the trials of life on Main Street.
