An essay by Joseph Greenlee of NRA-ILA and George Mocsary of the University of Wyoming College of Law was published in the Yale Law Journal Forum. It reviews Wolford v. Lopez and why Hawaii failed to uphold its carry limits under Bruen after invoking an 1865 Louisiana Black Code, colonial poaching bans, and pre-statehood Hawaiian monarchy restrictions. The authors treat Reconstruction-era disarmament of newly freed citizens as rejected overreach that cannot justify modern limits and instead supplies a way to weigh history so discarded practices do not shrink Second Amendment rights.
