With the US Supreme Court’s decision today to revisit the 2nd Amendment, its time Iowa ensure the rights of individuals to own firearms by adopting a state equivalent of the 2nd Amendment to the Iowa Constitution,
Iowa is one of only six states that do not provide constitutional protection for the right to keep and bear arms. The other states are California, Maryland, Minnesota, New York and New Jersey.
With the addition of Justice Sotomayor to the Court, defenders of the 2nd Amendment can no longer assume that it will be applied equally to state and local ordinances. Therefore, I will be introducing a constitutional amendment next year that would protect the right of all Iowans to keep and bear arms, and it will be part of my agenda as Governor.
If you support this idea, please sign our petition here, and let your own state legislator know you want to see Iowa adopt this constitutional amendment.
