Judge Rules USPS Gun Ban Unconstitutional

A federal judge in Florida on Friday ruled that a U.S. law that bars people from possessing firearms in post offices is unconstitutional, citing a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling from 2022 that expanded gun rights.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump in Tampa, reached that conclusion in dismissing part of an indictment charging a postal worker with illegally possessing a gun in a federal facility.

Mizelle said that charge violated Emmanuel Ayala’s right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, saying “a blanket restriction on firearms possession in post offices is incongruent with the American tradition of firearms regulation.”

    It is our duty as American Patriots to ignore unconstitutional laws, rendering them NULL & VOID.

    I have personally always ignored this stupidity and carry concealed in every USPS facility I visit. No one will ever know unless the need arises and no one is harmed by my holstered and concealed firearm.

    Interestingly, this really only came about after a few mass shootings in postal facilities carried out by postal employees, creating the term “going postal.”
