A federal judge has blocked the state of Hawaii from enforcing a recently enacted ban on firearms on its prized beaches and in other areas including banks, bars and parks, citing last year's landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanding gun rights.

    Guns can absolutely be safe, and if they’re bringing it to the beach, it’s probably safe to assume it’s legal.

    However, why the fuck anyone needs a gun at a beach is beyond me (or a grocery store, or library, or any number of other ridiculous places to bring a gun). America really needs to get their priorities straight, because it’s not really funny anymore, it’s scary.

      As soon as a gun is introduced anywhere, safety automatically drops. That is a statistical fact.

      I don’t know if they can really be safe at the beach though. You go in the water with your gun, or you leave it under your towel and hope a kid doesn’t find it?

        I totally agree it’s not safe at a beach, I was just stating that they can be safe, if treated with the proper respect.
