Paradise Lost

Hawaii Did Not Issue Any Gun-Carry Permits to Private Citizens in 2016 [More]
No surprises there. Anybody think their relatively low violent crime rate is due to "gun control" as opposed to ... oh, I don't know...?

Do you know when you get off a plane from the mainland there they require you to fill out a (punishable) affidavit attesting you are not bringing in any "illegal" (undocumented?) "plants and animals"?  This from a place with signs warning drivers of deer, and all kinds of imported animal and plant life?

I know "Sanctuary State" California asks if you have any produce when you drive across their border from Arizona. What I don't know is if they'll still laugh if you reply "No, but I can make you a sandwich."

The Hawaiians realize their statist infringement on the right of free travel is so offensive they actually warn you that.. well here, let me show you:

Yep, merely defacing their punk form can carry a fine of up to $25,000 and a year in the slammer.  I wonder what would happen if I mailed them one with a swastika, or a two-word message beginning with "F"?

Look, we all get that ecosystems can be damaged. There are ways to persuade against that without making your first outreach an unfunded mandate demand for uncompensated administrative work that violates the rights of those who wish to exercise their right of free association -- backed by a threat. I guess if we've already let TSA cop a feel, the assumption is we're easy.

And as long as we're tangentially on the subject of endangered species, note native Republicans have been driven to extinction. The predilection for statist coercion being the first resort makes that pretty evident.

Funny thing about those tolerant "progressives" -- there's another foreign transplant they've managed to keep out. Anybody see any Syrian or Nigerian communities in the land of inclusive Democrat control?

Aloha 'Oe.
