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 just don’t see how throwing gas on the fire makes it less out of control. Are you really prepared to shoot someone? Wouldn’t a better solution be for sane gun laws that don’t put them everywhere, and doesn’t make it so you have to feel in danger everywhere you go? I just don’t see how our constant bowing to gun lobbing to make sure that the streets are constantly full of guns is helping anyone. And it just can’t be a coincidence that the US is the country with the biggest problem, and also the one where we are constantly trying to arm everyone, everywhere.

      For me? Yes. But I’m also a combat veteran. I also would love to live in that world where we didn’t get fucked over by gun companies. And I’m not saying people should carry everywhere. Some gun owners really are just scared alpha males who want a security blanket. But we live in the world we live in and until it changes we do what we have to if we don’t live in a safe area.
