Sounds accurate. I’ve only been on Molokai for a paddle competition. That and flown over it many times. I’ve heard it was expensive for their food and resources and that many were living off the government. I read many small businesses that were tourist friendly closed down. I’ve heard locals can be very welcoming and also very unfriendly depending on the exact situation. I’ll likely never get to go explore it fully but I do appreciate what I have experienced.

Lol even if I do, doesn’t change my point which you can’t refute. Mental illness is the issue. It’s damaged hurt angry people acting out, and yes guns can be used by them to hurt people, but it’s not the guns killing people it’s the damaged people killing people. You want to pin it on guns. It wont change that mental health in America is slipping and people will still find ways to act out or do violence.

Second amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”It’s just that simple. Read it how your mind likes and it still doesn’t change the text.

Regardless if you believe in the right or not, it’s still not about guns. Criminals break laws and don’t give two craps about constitutionality. It’s mental health that is the issue. Not right or left. Not guns. Mental health. Until that’s addressed issues will still arise no matter the variable. Even if you did take guns.

There is no misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment. It is the right to bear arms. We have that right not for hunting or just personal protection. It’s there incase our government is corrupt and takes too much power. We can use guns for hunting etc which is also within our rights, but it’s not a right wing narrative. It’s just the constitution and those who appreciate the rights given. It’s not a right or left things. That’s partisan politics and party line drawing. I know democrats with guns and republicans.

Removing all guns or removing easy access? It’s a fundamental right in America to be able to bear arms. That said some mentally unhealthy individuals have the means to access weapons. Most cases of masa shooting the guns were purchased legally, but most actual criminals with guns don’t acquire theirs in that same way. Criminals will always get guns, and so will the police etc. law abiding citizens shouldn’t lose guns because the system allows for mentally unwell people to purchase weapons. A lot of mass shooters have been warned about before. A lot even have been tipped off the the FBI. When mentally ill people get weapons and the “good guys” don’t act to prevent violence then bad things happen. If you take guns, mentally ill people will still find ways to get attention and hurt others. Only difference would be law abiding citizens would have their rights and guns taken needlessly. Again. It’s a mental health issue. Not a gun issue.
