Most will simply fall right into line, afraid of angering state and federal lawmakers who keynote their annual events and make them look good. But gun rights leaders
By now you know that there is an all-out war coming to Washington, D.C. over ‘Red Flag Gun Confiscation’ legislation, in the wake of the Dayton, OH and El Paso, TX shootings. This fight is coming, and it’s coming fast!

Two years ago, it was then-Public Safety Committee Chairman and State Representative Clel Baudler who tried to shut the doors of Iowa Gun Owners forever with a bogus 47-page ‘ethics charge,’ against me and our wonderful organization.

“I NEED one of those shirts, my friend just got one in the mail yesterday and said it’s the most comfortable shirt he’s ever had. Send me one!” So said IGO’s newest member when he called our office yesterday looking to pick up his FREE IGO T-Shirt and decal.

Have you ever heard the expression, “You can’t fight city hall?” Well, whomever said that wasn’t a part of the Iowa Gun Owners army — who obliterated a pair of gun control ordinances in the Des Moines City Council last night!
