I laughed on the phone and told him, “If Chris Christie wants to roll into Iowa and get in the gutter and play rough trying to hide
Mandatory waiting periods to buy guns – leaving those who likely need a gun the most, defenseless. Universal background checks – resulting in the government having a complete list of guns and their owners. Mental health expansion laws – designed to seize guns from gun owners on the mere word of one “mental health staffer.” If you watched the Late Show the other night you watched missed seeing one of

It’s that season of politics again – when you can hardly go out to eat at a Pizza Ranch without bumping into a Republican Presidential contender seeking your vote and support in our first-in-the-nation caucuses that are scheduled to be held next February. As Iowans, we have a special role to play in determining what candidates emerge as viable contenders for the national stage. As Iowa’s largest gun rights organization,
As soon as today, the US Senate could be voting on whether or not to approve Loretta Lynch as your next Attorney General.

Please see the important message below from my good friend Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights, about his upcoming trip to Des Moines this Wednesday! Dudley will be in town holding a press conference discussing the US Senate race between Joni Ernst and Bruce Braley that has garnered so much national attention.

As last weekend’s “Iowa Poll” indicates, the race to see who will be Iowa’s next United States Senator is going to come down to the wire as this race is locked in a virtual dead heat with less than 1% separating the candidates from each other.

Imagine getting a call in the middle of the night from your 27 year old daughter, who tearfully told you that she’d mistakenly carried her concealed firearm into Illinois as she traveled with her children to go visit a friend, and had been arrested for it!
