Plus rope/judge.
Some assembly required.
The precision of the "shall not be infringed" standard works pretty well.
In the Commonwealth of Massachussetts in 1775, Committees of Safety arrested judges who worked against the People because they issued unfair orders confiscating lands, farms, tools, crops and animals for non payment of punitive royal taxes. The Committees of Safety gave these judges 24 hours to pack up their family goods and leave for Boston with letters patent from the Committees of Safety which terminated their judeships, replacing them with candidates elected by the People.
Looks like we have a need to do it again.
Something’s missing in that photo. I can’t quite say what.
If a complete prohibition on a large campus of a public university is “narrowly-tailored,” couldn’t a complete prohibition in a city also be “narrowly-tailored”? The District Court failed to develop a bright line distinguishing where Constitutional rights apply and where they don’t.
Instead, he developed a utilitarian doctrine: that if experts “agree” that limiting or outright prohibiting Constitutional rights is good, then those rights can (and, maybe, must) be limited or prohibited. As it is, the judge said the plaintiff offered no alternative empirical argument regarding whether citizens possessing guns are good. He infers from this that there is no such argument (and, implicitly, that the people acted stupidly to enact the Constitutional Amendment that they did.
From his standpoint, he should have offered the plaintiff a continuation to develop such an empirical argument. John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime, would make a great witness as to how possession of guns is good. Then, with conflicting testimony as to whether guns are good, he should recognize that it is for the legislature (in this case, the people acting directly as the legislature) to decide the matter.
BTW Because of recent state legislation and court rulings, ten states now have provisions allowing the carrying of concealed weapons on public postsecondary campuses. These states are Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin. May a dozen other states allow persons to keep guns if locked in their vehicles.
“College students are not only (with very few exceptions) legal adults, they are allegedly the cream of the crop...”
Ha ha ha ha ha! LOL! I don’t care what anyone says, that there is funny!
Allegedly, indeed! Most college students need remedial work as freshmen to get up to prior college entry level knowledge. A whole lot of college students are affirmative action implants to achieve a PC social mix. And a crapload take easy majors (like education) to avoid rigor.
Impeach. Convict. Remove. Indict. No plea bargain. Try. Convict. Sentence. Incarcerate. No parole. Precedent established.

Actually, in the Heller decision, the Court endorsed strict scrutiny.
The Court has simply refused to enforce it after numerous lower courts started using "rational basis" tests, and calling them "intermediate scrutiny".
We may see something different on Monday (oral arguments in the NYSR&PC case).
Good solution, if Missouri has the politicians to do so.
We don’t have District Court judges in Missouri. They are Circuit Court judges.
This “judge” DIM/lefty political operative is a nitwit and lunatic. Case closed.
RSMO 571.107 (excerpt) No concealed carry permit issued pursuant to sections 571.101 to 571.121, shall authorize any person to carry concealed firearms into:
(10) Any higher education institution or elementary or secondary school facility without the consent of the governing body....
2. Carrying of a concealed firearm in a location specified in subdivisions (1) to (17) of this section by any individual who holds a concealed carry permit shall not be a criminal act. If such person refuses to leave the premises and a peace officer is summoned, such person may be issued a citation for an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars for the first offense.
This is why you never vote for ANY democrat for ANY reason.
Next, the necessity to prevent “hate speech” will override right of free speech.
“Safety” can be invoked to overturn or institute any rule or law at all.
Jail for the judge!
America’s robed mullahs...as totalitarian as their ME brethren. What does Beto O’Mao say about it? UNFATHOMABLE EVIL permeates the republic and continues unabated.
