Privatize the post office.
The ban is stupid - the criminal will not obey any ban.
Let’s not get carried away here, people! We still need a ban on Postal employees going, well, postal!
“The ban is stupid - the criminal will not obey any ban.”
If you follow that logic, all gun bans are stupid. But, you are not the first one to make this observation:
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
Ref: U.S. laws and Obama or Holder
Excellent!
Mountain States Legal Foundation is a very good group and have a history of winning cases in the western US.
Thomas Jefferson was quoting Cesare Beccaria’s Essay on Crimes and Punishments.
So, it is not exactly an original Thomas Jefferson quote.

Do the people who openly carry, like in Arizona, openly carry the holstered guns into the Post Office? You see people everywhere openly carrying holstered guns.
Yea that whole concept..... going postal
I would never go "Postal"
I hate amateurs!
We already have that.
Murder is illegal. Assault with a deadly weapon is illegal. Reckless endangerment is illegal. Brandishing a weapon is illegal.
WE DO NOT NEED MORE LAWS!

my humor too subtle?
I don’t care where it is; if there’s no metal detector, I carry.
Lets look at the law and definitions, you will find that they (legal types) are FOS.
If one was to actually crack open the code, you "Legally" can carry a "Pistol" or a rifle" into any place in the United States, but using "their definition" against them..... I respectfully submit Title 27 CFR:
§ 479.11 Meaning of terms.
Firearm. (a) A shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (b) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (c) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (d) a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (e) any other weapon, as defined in this subpart; (f) a machine gun; (g) a muffler or a silencer for any firearm whether or not such firearm is included within this definition; and (h) a destructive device. The term shall not include an antique firearm or any device (other than a machine gun or destructive device) which, although designed as a weapon, the Director finds by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and other characteristics is primarily a collector's item and is not likely to be used as a weapon. For purposes of this definition, the length of the barrel having an integral chamber(s) on a shotgun or rifle shall be determined by measuring the distance between the muzzle and the face of the bolt, breech, or breech block when closed and when the shotgun or rifle is cocked. The overall length of a weapon made from a shotgun or rifle is the distance between the extreme ends of the weapon measured along a line parallel to the center line of the bore.
And nothing other than what is defined is a "Firearm"
At least something good came out of this place.
Excellent news! Thanks for posting MT.
Thanks, pax.
