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.

      Technically yes. In reality you just don’t bring a gun if you know your going to a gun free zone. This in regards to private businesses.

        But then you’re back to “It’s literally fascism if I’m not allowed to always have the ability to impulsively clear a room for even 5 seconds.”

          Well, according to the NRA anyway.
