Things are about to get ugly. Fast. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is preparing to spend MILLIONS to ram gun control into law here in Iowa. Days ago, insider sources in Des Moines told me a brand-new anti-gun group — backed with up to two million dollars of Bloomberg’s cash — was being formed to browbeat the Iowa General Assembly into passing gun control in 2014! As I
Yesterday was the first day of the 2014 General Assembly and already the fight for the 2nd Amendment is heating up! Having been to many of these I can tell you that the first days, in fact the entire first week, is filled with mostly pomp and show and many ceremonial proceedings. The real work will begin next week. But that does not mean that deals are not already being
Most politicians would love nothing more than to take gun owners’ votes and then never hear from us again until the next election rolls around. They think they’re MORE than capable of running our lives for us, after all. You and I just “get in the way.” Well, I believe it’s time for you and me to send a loud and clear message to the General Assembly that the days
Imagine opening your mail box and finding a letter from your county government demanding you show up at the Court House to register your guns. That’s exactly what happened to gun owners in Connecticut last week . . . Long lines formed outside court houses across the state — men and women – as gun owners just like you and me waited in the cold to register their guns with
I wish I had better news to report. For months radical anti-gun New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been talking about his disgust with President Obama over his inability to enact federal gun control legislation. He’s made no secret of the fact that he’s taking his fight to the state level, announcing that his organization will be active in at least 5 state legislatures in 2014. As on Monday,
For Immediate Release “Early reports indicate that the suspect was already a convicted felon for purposes of federal guidelines rendering him unable to legally possess firearms. Clearly this suspect did what criminals always do and acquired a firearm through illegal means.” – Aaron Dorr, Executive Director, Iowa Gun Owners (Des Moines, Iowa) – A mid-afternoon shooting in Des Moines’s south side Wednesday afternoon was the latest example of the failure
Recently IGO put out an alert informing our members about an impending vote that the Dubuque City Council was going to cast to BAN the sales of all firearms in home based businesses in Dubuque. Many of you probably know someone like this who works on and sells guns from their home. Oftentimes they are retirees, vets, and just about the most mild mannered people you’ll ever meet. But the
In their ongoing effort to clamp down on the 2nd Amendment rights of all Iowans, the ultra-liberal Des Moines Register came out with a story Sunday where they expressed their shock and dismay that Iowans with diminished vision would be allowed to carry a weapon for self-defense. Frankly, when we read this story, we yawned. After all, it’s the Des Moines Register, who cares what they think? This is, after
As Iowa Gun Owners prepares to meet the gun grabbers in Iowa head on next legislative session, we need to increase the size of our grassroots army, in order to prevent any attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights. As part of that process, it gives me great pleasure to announce that IGO is giving away a FREE AR-15 rifle! This is the exact firearm that Iowa State Representative Dan Muhlbauer
This is urgent. I just got off the phone with an IGO member in Dubuque calling to inform us that the City Council is working to ban all home based firearms businesses in the city of Dubuque. This is not a major surprise, as the Mayor of Dubuque, Roy D. Buol, is a member of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s radical collection of mayors who are trying to stamp out the
