“...under no circumstances...” really means “except where we don’t like that”.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

There's a rotten apple (or two) in every barrel...even in a fine state like Missouri. To contrast,the United States Supreme Court recently overturned,by a 9-0 vote,a Massachusetts law that clearly infringed on one's 2nd Amendment rights...a law that had been upheld as constitutional by the state's highest court.In that unanimous decision the narrative provided referred to the Massachusetts court's ruling as "frivolous".

IOW,there are states where *most* of the apples in the barrel are rotten.

If there is no law, there is no law

A tyrannical judge has no protection on his life under the law

Nobody seems to see, or want to talk about the obvious with these college campus bans. College students are not only (with very few exceptions) legal adults, they are allegedly the cream of the crop, preparing for leadership roles in society.

That they can not be trusted with a firearm should be viewed as a tremendous indictment against that college or university's admission program, student life program and general academic program.

In a sane world, no local, state or federal law enforcement agency or military would recruit from such an institution. Rationally, if the University doesn't trust their students with a firearm, why should a prospective employer trust their graduates?

Strict scrutiny

Overview

Strict scrutiny is a form of judicial review that courts use to determine the constitutionality of certain laws. Strict scrutiny is often used by courts when a plaintiff sues the government for discrimination. To pass strict scrutiny, the legislature must have passed the law to further a "compelling governmental interest," and must have narrowly tailored the law to achieve that interest. Strict scrutiny is the highest standard of review which a court will use to evaluate the constitutionality of governmental discrimination. The other two standards are intermediate scrutiny and rational basis review.

Application

Equal Protection

Strict scrutiny will often be invoked in an equal protection claim. For a court to apply strict scrutiny, the legislature must either have passed a law that infringes upon a fundamental right or involves a suspect classification. Suspect classifications include race, national origin, religion, and alienage.

Other Applications

The application of strict scrutiny, however, extends beyond issues of equal protection. Restrictions on content-based speech, for instance, are to be reviewed under the strict scrutiny standard as well. Notably, the Supreme Court has refused to endorse the application of strict scrutiny to gun regulations, leaving open the question of which precise standard of review is to be employed when addressing the Second Amendment.

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.

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.

We don’t have District Court judges in Missouri. They are Circuit Court judges.

"On April 22, 2016, Democrat Governor Nixon appointed Democrat politician Jeff Harris to the position of judge in the 13th Circuit."

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.
