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.

    Freedom is scary

    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.
