For all Poincar\'e invariant Lagrangians of the form ${\cal L}\equiv f(F_{\mu\nu})$, in three Euclidean dimensions, where $f$ is any invariant function of a non-compact $U(1)$ field strength $F_{\mu\nu}$, we find that the only continuum limit (described by just such a gauge field) is that of free field theory: First we approximate a gauge invariant version of Wilson's renormalization group by neglecting all higher derivative terms $\sim \partial^nF$ in ${\cal L}$, but allowing for a general non-vanishing anomalous dimension. Then we prove analytically that the resulting flow equation has only one acceptable fixed point: the Gaussian fixed point. The possible relevance to high-$T_c$ superconductivity is briefly discussed.
