Christopher L. Wilson, Petitioner v. Hawaii, 23-7517, Petition DENIED Statement of Justice, (U.S. Dec. 9, 2024)
That conclusion contravenes the settled prin- ciple that Americans need not engage in empty formalities before they can invoke their constitutional rights, and it wrongly reduces the Second Amendment to a “second-class right.” McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742, 780 (2010) (plurality opinion).
On the Ha- waii Supreme Court’s view, a sounder approach to constitu- tional interpretation would give due regard to the “spirit of Aloha” and would preclude any individual right to bear arms, or at least subject it to “levels of scrutiny and public
Thus, a state-law holding that a defendant “lacked stand- ing to attack the constitutionality of the ordinance because [he] made no attempt to secure a permit under it” is “not an adequate nonfederal ground of decision” where the “ordi- nance ... on its face violates the Constitution.” Staub v. City of Baxley, 355 U. S. 313, 319 (1958).
And, the court continued, those charges did not, as a matter of state law, afford Mr. Wilson standing to challenge a distinct statute, §134–9, regulating the issuance of licenses to carry guns and ammunition in public.
But under the Constitution and our precedents, it is this Cite as: 604 U. S. ____ (2024) Statement of GORSUCH, J.

It would permit a prosecutor to do indirectly what he cannot do directly—in- vite the jury to examine acts for which a President is im- mune from prosecution to nonetheless prove his liability on any charge.
And none of them indicate whether he may be prosecuted for his official con- duct.

United States, Petitioner v. Zackey Rahimi, 22-915, 21-2024 (U.S. Jun. 21, 2024)
Nonetheless, after Heller, lower courts took up the necessary work of reviewing burdens on this newly un- earthed right.
See, e.g., United States v. Daniels, 77 F. 4th 337, 358–360 (CA5 2023) (Higginson, J., concurring) (providing a similarly nonex- haustive list).
So far, Bruen’s history-focused test ticks none of those boxes.
The Government’s evidence touches on one or none of these considerations.
None establishes that the particular regulation at issue here would have been within the bounds of the pre-existing Second Amendment right.
Because there is none, I would con- clude that the statute is inconsistent with the Second Amendment.
