Guns, Post Offices, and the Second Amendment

A Discussion of Classical Criminal Law v. the New Democrat Standard

It’s a legacy of the Trump Presidency and a Republican US Senate that a person arrested for bringing a gun into a Post Office can defeat the charge, and the federal statute criminalizing it, in court.

The same federal judge who struck down the CDC’s arbitrary and capricious airline mask mandate also struck down the law that criminalized innocent conduct.

It can’t be that mere claim that a place is “sensitive” can be enough to defeat the right to self defense. One could criminalize innocent conduct all day long if that were the case.

Criminalizing innocent conduct is always arbitrary and capricious.

Why do some want to criminalize innocent conduct ?

There are a myriad of reasons for that, to be sure. Anything from low attention span, to feeling instead of thinking, to evil intent.

The latest TRP episode tackles the issue squarely with the help of Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, the youngest federal judge that President Trump put on the bench with the confirmation of a Republican US Senate.

She saw through the mask mandate’s claim of “science”, too. Saying something is “science,” like saying a place is “sensitive,” is perhaps a way to get what you want when it’s arbitrary and capricious, but it’s also a way to help Republicans get elected in order to put a stop to it.
