The article is deceptive in its portrayal of the Hawaii Supreme Court's ruling on individual rights to arms. The author misrepresents the court's decision by stating that it sides with Heller dissenters and embraces a collective right view, when in fact the court explicitly states that it rejects this interpretation. Additionally, the article implies that there is no precedence for an individual right to bear arms based on previous cases such as District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago, which are cited but not accurately represented.

Deception
(90%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author cites a quote from HBO's TV drama 'The Wire', which has no relevance to the topic at hand and serves as an attempt to appeal to emotions rather than presenting factual information. Secondly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'preserved peace and tranquility in Hawaii' when describing the state government's policies curbing certain gun-carry rights. This is a clear example of emotional manipulation and serves to mislead readers into believing that these policies are beneficial for society. Thirdly, the author uses selective reporting by only mentioning cases where individuals have been arrested for improperly holding firearms in public without providing any context or information on other instances where gun ownership has not led to violence or harm. This is a clear example of science and health articles that imply facts without linking to peer-reviewed studies which have not been retracted.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several logical fallacies. The author cites the 'spirit of Aloha' as a reason for not allowing Second Amendment rights to extend to Hawaii citizens. This is an appeal to authority and a form of informal fallacy because it assumes that the spirit of Aloha has inherent value and should be used as justification for policy decisions without any evidence or reasoning provided. The author also quotes HBO's TV drama, 'The Wire', which further supports this argument but does not provide any relevant information to the topic at hand. Additionally, the article contains a dichotomous depiction of Hawaii society by stating that it has never included a society where armed people move about the community to possibly combat others. This is an inflammatory rhetoric because it implies that all Hawaiians are violent and dangerous individuals who need to be controlled through gun regulations. The author also uses formal fallacies such as misinterpretation of the Second Amendment by citing previous court decisions, which contradicts its original meaning.
The spirit of Aloha supersedes the Constitution and Second Amendment
