It’s showdown time!
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) just sued Uncle Sam! They’ve launched a federal lawsuit in Texas to shoot down the firearms carry ban at U.S. Post Offices and their properties.
They’re not just talking tough; they want the court to declare the ban unconstitutional and to halt its enforcement.
The Firearms Policy Coalition has jumped into the fray alongside SAF. Texas residents Gavin Pate and George Mandry are also on board, taking the fight right to Attorney General Merrick Garland’s doorstep in his official capacity.
The legal battleground? U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.
Legal sharpshooters R. Brent Cooper of Cooper & Scully, P.C. in Dallas, and David H. Thompson with Peter A. Patterson from Cooper & Kirk in Washington, D.C., are leading the charge.
Alan M. Gottlieb, SAF founder and EVP, brings up the Bruen ruling from June 2022, laying down the law: “if the government seeks to restrict firearms in a particular location as a ‘sensitive place,’ it must prove that its current restriction is sufficiently analogous to a well-established and representative historical analogue.”
Adam Kraut, SAF’s Executive Director, points out that current federal law slaps a ‘no firearms’ sign on all federal facilities, including your friendly neighborhood post office.
He highlights how this rule messes with millions of law-abiding citizens who just want to mail a letter without leaving their rights at the door.
So, grab your popcorn and stay tuned!
