The Second Amendment Still Applies on Federal Property
In a powerful rebuke to bureaucratic despotism, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has struck down the federal government’s ban on carrying firearms in U.S. post offices, handing a decisive victory to the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), and the Constitution itself.
In its ruling, the court didn’t merely tap the brakes on tyranny; it slammed the gavel down with force, granting both declaratory and injunctive relief. It declared the ban unconstitutional and prohibited its enforcement against the plaintiffs, which include members of SAF. The decision came in FPC v. Bondi, a lawsuit filed in June 2024 to challenge the federal ban on the possession and carrying of firearms within post offices and on their surrounding property.
This is not a fringe issue. Millions of peaceable Americans pass through post offices every day to engage in the most mundane and lawful of tasks — mailing a letter, picking up a package — and until now, they were expected to disarm at the door as if entering a fortress of tyranny. As SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut put it, “There is no historical tradition of banning firearms at post offices, and peaceable Americans all over the country should not be forced to choose between using basic postal services and the exercise of their fundamental rights.”
