With all that has been going on in our state (and our country as a whole) over the last month, sales of firearms and ammunition have been skyrocketing! It’s easy to see why. It seems like every hour brings more concerning news about the Coronavirus and the state and federal government’s reaction to it. That’s one of the things that makes America the most incredible country on earth; the fact
Our state and our country are going through incredibly difficult times as we deal with the Coronavirus and the government’s reaction to it. At the same time, a massive federal gun control bill is on the move in Washington, D.C. As Iowa’s largest and most respected gun rights organization we are being deluged with calls, emails, and Facebook messages from Iowans who want the latest information on all of this.
As we recently told you, Elizabeth Warren and dozens of anti-gun socialists in Washington, D.C. have declared open war on gun owners with H.R. 5717/S. 3254! This bill is a whopping one hundred and eleven pages of freedom-crushing tyranny that would permanently alter your right to keep and bear arms here in Iowa. From a national gun owners permit, to ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures,’ to a ban on the sale
While America is on lock down across the country, radical socialists in Washington, D.C. are working overtime to advance the biggest gun control bill that I’ve seen in the 12 years that I have been fighting for gun rights! You might think that with the Dow plummeting 35% percent in the last month and with America facing the potential of 20% unemployment in the coming weeks, that these people
As the state and federal response to the Coronavirus gets larger by the hour, Iowans want to know just how far this power can extend where their gun rights are concerned. If you missed our email about the limitations of Governor Reynolds’ power during a disaster declaration from last week, read that here. (The short version is that your rights are protected here in Iowa from any state, county,
If you had told Iowans a month ago that they were 30 days away from it being against the law to eat in a restaurant, go to their gym, go to a movie, or worship in their church, people would have assumed you were crazy! And if you told people that it would be against the law to be in any group of ten or more people, they probably
Travel bans. Empty store shelves. State of emergency declarations. State/counties ending concealed carry permit applications. If there was ever a doubt in your mind as to why it is essential that Iowa pass Constitutional Carry legislation, I trust the news of the last few days has answered that question for you, once and for all. While it’s hard to separate prudent preparation from mass panic on the part of
Politicians lie. Everyone knows it, and everyone hates them for it. As Iowa’s leading gun rights organization, we expect politicians to keep the campaign promises that they made to gun owners. And when they break those promises, we hold them accountable! Sure, there are plenty of organizations in the Capitol who will protect liars because they are desperate to remain in their good graces, but Iowa Gun Owners has never
Moments ago, the 2020 legislative session kicked off in Des Moines With Michael Bloomberg’s announcement that he is spending $250,000 to advance ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation (H.F. 2367) here in Iowa, everything has changed. His digital ad buy is going to be generating a massive amount of pressure on targeted Senators, tempting them to ‘make a deal’ on this bill. And given the weakness that we’ve seen from moderate
As nasty as ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation is in general, I wanted to call your attention to one part of that bill we are fighting against here in Iowa, in particular. Again, ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ laws would allow you to have your guns confiscated and your permits seized through secret, ex-parte court proceedings that you know nothing about — and before you’ve been convicted of a crime!
