Friend,
We have a huge announcement to make!
Yesterday, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) secured
another landmark victory for individual liberty.
Chief District Judge Reed O’Connor for the U.S. District
Court of the Northern District of Texas ruled that
the federal ban on firearm possession, storage, and carry at United
States Post Offices and related properties, including post office
parking lots, violates the Second Amendment in the FPC case
of Firearms
Policy Coalition v. Attorney General Pam
Bondi.
As Judge O’Connor explained, “it is hard to envision that the
Founders would countenance banning firearms in the post
office—particularly because they did not do so themselves. Thus, the
Government has not carried its burden” to justify its ban on carry in
and around post offices.
The Court thus held that
the prohibition is “unconstitutional as-applied to carrying firearms”
inside a post office or on post office property. The court’s order
also blocks the federal government from enforcing its unconstitutional
ban against FPC members.
“As we’ve said all along, governments cannot ban
weapons in unsecured public spaces, full stop,” said FPC President
Brandon Combs.
“For too long, peaceable people have been threatened with
prosecution simply for carrying weapons for self-defense while mailing
a package or buying stamps. That ends here. The Second Amendment
simply does not permit governments to invent new so-called ‘gun-free
zones’ wherever they please.”
