Restrictions on carry in court houses would likely pass the Bruen test.
I don't see any reason why a court should be treated any differently though.
Well yeah, the Courts make up rules and tests to advance whatever agenda is on the docket. They work backwards from the result they want.
What historical analog can you point to that wouldn’t also apply to post offices?
Banks
Banks are private entities. Apples and oranges.
You know what else is public? Courthouses.
Florida is such a shit hole.
We're not "such a shit hole". We're an exquisite shit hole.
Cool, so the place that mass shootings in the US began, and coined its own phrase, now must allow armed nut jobs inside. What could go wrong!?
The USPS has been abused by DeJoy, another trump appointee, who filled the fleet with more gas vehicles with less efficiency than previous models. That and removing public mail boxes for “reasons that totally didn’t have to do with mail-in voting helping Democrats win elections, promise.”
It wasn't just blue boxes, he also shut down sorting machines, slowing mail processing in another attempt to delay mail-in ballots. Luckily we weren't sending these off to get sorted at the plant and would take them to the town hall directly which probably helped circumvent a lot of late ballots. Can't say this was done in every office but in my local area I know we did that.
Edit: a word
Quite literally all but 1 came after the 1972 ban.
Also yet another bootlicking judge leaving the guy charged with nothing but resisting arrest.

NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TAKE MY GUNS

I need a gun when I go to the post office to protect myself from the postal workers when they decide to go postal.

Be interesting to see how the appeal goes. It’s going to take a while to thin out those Trump judges.
Honestly, this is going to be the real and lasting problem of his (hopefully) single-term. The justice system (specifically the supreme court) is going to be fucked for many years to comes. That is unless congress actually expands or sets some kind of limits.
I'm fifty. Guaranteed I'm going to be dead before the supreme court is fixed, so this is my life now.
this investigation is a huge waste of resources
We should make sure it's also unconstitutional to block guns at:
- Courthouses
- GOP conventions
- Political rallies
- NRA conventions
With the exception of the courthouse, those examples are privately owned locations which can currently not allow firearms to their whim. Courthouse gun-free zones are constitutional and reaffirmed via Bruen.
The 3 other examples are: Theaters, arenas, public events reserved via permit, etc.
Depending on the state, any private location can choose to allow firearms and some states have the rule of law in that. In states where disallowing firearms does not have the rule of law, the individual going against the wishes of the location or event can be asked to leave under threat of trespassing as an unwelcomed individual.
Opening up those locations to firearms would also negate all other laws that ban carry on private property or otherwise public properties reserved by a private party as none would qualify as a constitutional gun-free zone.
Bunch of scared insecure children on the right. Recommend a listen to Malcolm Gladwell 6 part series on gun violence for the history of the rights obsession with 2A.
I want to open carry an ar15 in an MRI room. If you prohibit that, you are violating my constitutional rights!
If you say that there are exceptions to those rights the I think we have a crack that we need to rip open juuuuust a little wider.
I love how open carry was banned in California by Republican legislation and the law was signed by fucking none other than conservative golden calf, Ronald Reagan.
And why? Because the Black Panthers were making white people nervous.
There's no moral or logical consistency until you realize everything they do is self serving and any given stance is subject to change whenever convenient.
