Wolford v. Lopez · ¶117

The majority thinks otherwise; it reaches today’s result by purporting to apply the test we established in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U. S. 1 (2022). But the majority gets both the Bruen test and its application wrong. Hawaii’s law does not implicate the Second Amendment because there is no right to carry a gun onto private property without consent (as all agree), and the Constitution does not dictate the form of that required consent. And even if the Second Amendment were implicated here, Hawaii has proffered ample analogues demonstrating a history and tradition of States protecting their residents’ property rights by requiring those wishing to carry guns onto private property to get express consent from the property owner before doing so.
