Colion Noir breaks down a federal court ruling in Texas that declared the ban on carrying firearms in post offices and on postal property unconstitutional. The ruling, brought by the Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation, found the ban inconsistent with historical traditions and the Second Amendment. Noir highlights the lack of security in post offices compared to other government buildings and critiques the 'sensitive place' argument.

This video features constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith, a member of the Supreme Court Bar, explaining the profound impact of the NYSRPA v. Bruen decision. Smith details how the ruling mandates that modern gun regulations must have a historical analog from the founding period (1760-1826) to be deemed constitutional. He argues that since the founders faced similar social problems like mass killings and crime but chose the Second Amendment over gun control, contemporary regulations addressing these issues are likely unconstitutional.
