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.

    I see, so only murder trials determine what is or is not true.

      The case you cited was a complete farce. I’m surprised you are still trying to make an issue of it. Murder trials are there to establish guilt or innocence based on the evidence.

      Sitting on a thread reading about someone’s opinion is far different than sitting on a jury hearing evidence for hours a day. I’m going to put my trust in the jury rather than some internet strangers opinion who is trying to collect imaginary points for clout.

        I see, so murder cases determine fact unless they are a complete farce.

        How do we know whether it was fact or a farce? What are the rules here?

          Once again you are conflating a staged case about evolution with murder trial.

          At this point I have to ask, do you understand the difference?

            I am? Weird, because I’m pretty sure I said ‘murder cases’ in my previous comment. Let me check.

            Yep, I said ‘murder cases.’

            Was Scopes tried for murder and I missed that part in the history books?

            Because it’s either that or in your zeal to berate me, you didn’t actually read the comment.
