Judge rules federal law banning gun possession in post offices unconstitutional

A federal judge has declared that a law banning Americans from possessing guns in postal offices is unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Florida ruled Friday that a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling from 2022 made the postal office gun ban illegal.

“The Supreme Court has been clear: the government must point to historical principles that would permit it to prohibit firearms possession in post offices,” wrote Mizelle, an appointee of former President Donald J. Trump.

“The United States fails to meet that burden,” she concluded.
