A federal judge in Florida ruled a U.S. law that prohibits people from having firearms in post offices to be unconstitutional, the latest court decision declaring gun restrictions violate the Constitution.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Trump appointee, cited the 2022 Supreme Court ruling “New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen” that expanded gun rights. The 2022 ruling recognized the individual’s right to bear a handgun in public for self-defense.

The judge shared her decision in the indictment that charged Emmanuel Ayala, U.S. Postal Service truck driver, with illegal possession of a firearm in a federal building.

    As for whether there are good reasons to ban guns in post offices, that’s debatable.

    All it takes is one guy with a gun that’s pissed off about a lost package.

    That’s true literally everywhere.

    Yep, including Post Offices.

      Yep, which is why you can’t annul 2A by saying there is some small reason to not have them everywhere.

      If you want to repeal the 2A, pass a new ammendment. Of course you can’t because most people are not irrationally scared of guns.
