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.

    Ooo ooo so fun fact. Some states had laws banning ownership of guns if you weren’t willing to fight for the government. In the 17 and 1800’s.

    So let’s get all anti government types into their enlistments! Remember folks membership or association with extreme groups is cause for early discharge and loss of your 2nd Amendment rights in this case!

    Leeeet’s gooooo!

    Also we can ban conceal carry totally, and open carry within city limits.

    If you don’t store your firearms correctly we can take them away.

    Early firearms laws are really a treasure trove. But we all know Bruen wasn’t about reality. It was about banning gun control.
