For years now, the U.S. government has prohibited the carrying of firearms in U.S. post offices, and certain other government buildings. Americans have, by and large, accepted these restrictions as a normal part of living in the America of the 21st century, where the mainstream media has convinced the masses that there is no such thing as a responsible gun owner, and that these sorts of restrictions make us safer.
The reality, of course, is that responsible gun owners make this country a safer place, and each one of these restrictions chips away at our Second Amendment rights, with the grand agenda to strip us of our firearms altogether. This is why it’s so important for us to fight to preserve and reclaim these rights, especially in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S.Ct. 2111 (2022), which affirmed that the Constitution provides us with an individual right to carry firearms outside the home. What’s more, even though the federal statute prohibiting the possession of firearms in post offices contains an exception for carrying firearms for “lawful purposes”, the U.S. government recently took the position that carrying firearms for self-defense does not constitute a “lawful purpose” within the meaning of this exception. That’s right – the government has asserted that carrying a firearm for self-defense is not a lawful purpose.
That is why we’ve decided to take the case of David Nastri, a combat veteran and attorney, who has been a Connecticut pistol permit holder and responsible firearms owner for three decades. Yet he would be subject to prosecution simply for walking into a U.S. post office with a pistol strapped to his hip to mail a package. We have now filed a complaint in federal court seeking a nationwide injunction that would allow all members of We The Patriots USA to carry firearms in U.S. post offices, including of course Mr. Nastri. You can read our complaint here. If you are not yet a member but would like to be covered by this proposed injunction, please sign up for a Patriot membership today.
