The Supreme Court seems likely to strike down Hawaii restrictions on carrying guns in stores in the justices’ latest firearm case since their landmark decision expanding Second Amendment rights. The Trump administration backed the challenge to the law barring guns in places like malls and hotels unless the property owner specifically allows them. Hawaii said the measure is aimed at making sure private owners have the right to decide whether they want firearms on their property. The high court heard arguments in the case Tuesday. Conservative justices seemed skeptical of the state’s argument, questioning whether Hawaii could make similar rules restricting First Amendment freedom of speech rights on private property.
