It

cannot give way to “the spirit of Aloha” in Hawaii, contra,

State v. Wilson, 154 Haw. 8, 27, 543 P. 3d 440, 459 (2024),

any more than it can yield to the spirit of the Big Apple

(Bruen) or the Windy City (McDonald). It applies in the

same way to our 50th State (where about 8% of adults pos-

sess guns) and our 49th State (where the figure is roughly

59%).12 Merely local attitudes can neither shrink nor in-

flate the meaning of fundamental Bill of Rights guarantees

that apply to the States through the Fourteenth Amend-

ment.
