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.

    Once again you are conflating a staged case about evolution with murder trial.

    At this point I have to ask, do you understand the difference?

      I am? Weird, because I’m pretty sure I said ‘murder cases’ in my previous comment. Let me check.

      Yep, I said ‘murder cases.’

      Was Scopes tried for murder and I missed that part in the history books?

      Because it’s either that or in your zeal to berate me, you didn’t actually read the comment.
