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.
What do you imagine was blocking such people from carrying in the first place? A sign?
“Well shit Jethro. Sign says it right there. ‘No nutty gunners allowed.’ Let’s go put our shit back in the truck. 'Parently the libs won’t ‘allow’ us to shoot the place up. Dang it!”
People like you are why our politicians waste political capital on bullshit laws instead of working towards real solutions. You actually believe carry bans are effective? Ignorant at best, a childish conception of human behavior, and that’s me being charitable.
“Well, by golly I don’t like it! A ban should do nicely! Put those bad people in their place for once!”
Yeah. Worked for alcohol, abortion and drugs, didn’t it?
Fuck are you on about? I know, bag on Florida, score internet points, feel righteous. Getting that dopamine hit? Feeling smart?
Know why you hear so much crazy shit about Florida?
We got 21.7 million people here, third most populous state in the union. (A million is “a lot” for those of you lacking math.) Yeah, we gonna have some fruits and nuts.
We got “sunshine laws”, a liberal idea, one I adore, that allows free reporting of crime and much more.
Perhaps we should rescind that? Take the wind out of the sails for people like you?
We got a nut case governor, who is certainly going to lose his next election. LOL, we can’t do worse.
Where you from? Bet money I can bag on your state as hard or harder.
A lot to unpack here but I’ll just focus on this;
The term “going postal” is what they’re referring to.
And that started after carry ban laws were passed
There were mass shootings prior to the post office.
Freedom is scary, get over it. If you crave safety go live in an authoritarian society like China.
I’m pretty free and never have to fear that the jackass in front of me on the highway will pull a gun if I look at him wrong. Crazy how a gun isn’t necessary for freedom.

No you see you have it backwards. I’m not afraid of psychos with guns because I live in a country with somewhat sane firearm laws.
The guy who pulled the gun on me in Boston lived in fear though.
Weird how that works.
Sounds like you should stay where ever you are from. You prefer to trade freedom for perceived safety.
I would advise not coming to America again. Freedom can be scary.
Can you just go back to Reddit please?
I see you would prefer an echo chamber reinforcing your beliefs.
Seeing other people’s viewpoints and understanding their thoughts on an issue can be difficult.
Freedom is scary, get over it.
Hahaha literally a fucking caricature response. Fuck your viewpoints and your dementia ridden thoughts.
It’s this simple: if it’s legal to carry a gun somewhere then you have no idea which armed people are responsible, sane gun owners; if it’s illegal to carry a gun somewhere, then anyone with a gun is therefore not a sane, responsible gun owner, which is really damn good to know before they are pointing the gun at someone.
No it doesn’t prevent crazy people with guns, but it let’s you know that anyone with a gun is a threat and measures should be taken immediately.
By this logic concealed carry would be acceptable and if someone shows you their gun they are a threat. Which is always illegal already.
Not by any logic I know but let’s hear it.
Cool, now defend desantis
