"Iowa laws pertaining to gun controls could be eliminated under a legislative resolution that would amend the state’s constitution ..."
"House Joint Resolution 2005 would amend the constitution to say that the rights to acquire, keep, possess, transport, carry and transfer firearms for legitimate purposes is fundamental and cannot be denied." ...
"The resolution would also limit local governments’ ability to restrict guns from such places as city halls, the attorney general’s office said."
"Rep. Deborah Berry, D-Waterloo, said she supports Second Amendment rights but expressed deep concerns with the possible consequences of such a resolution."
"'Are we going to see another Gabrielle Giffords if you don’t like something I do?' Berry asked. ..." ... -------
Submitter's Note: But Deb, the amendment specifies "legitimate purposes" so it will still be illegal to shoot you. |

TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
