The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) secured a significant expansion of its recent federal court victory over the U.S. Postal Service’s firearm carry ban, with a judge clarifying that the injunction now applies not only to current members but also to individuals who join the organization in the future.
The development marks another setback for the federal government, which had already failed in its effort to pause the ruling while the case moves through the appeals process. Now that the court has confirmed that the injunction applies to a growing class of FPC and SAF members, the case’s practical impact has widened considerably.
At the center of the dispute is the federal prohibition on carrying firearms in post offices under 18 U.S.C. § 930(a), along with related U.S. Postal Service regulations. Plaintiffs successfully argued that the ban is unconstitutional as applied to its members under the framework established by the U.S. Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. That decision requires the government to demonstrate that modern firearm restrictions are consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of gun regulation.
