Instead, lawmakers such as House Democratic Leader Kevin McCarthy, while touting his lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association, said the gun bill was extreme. McCarthy said the GOP-sponsored measures would turn "Iowa into the wild, wild West."
"It would eliminate all gun laws," McCarthy said. "This issue is very, very extreme. This proposal is not a mainstream proposal."
One measure would allow people to use deadly force if threatened.
The second was a resolution that would call for writing gun rights into the Iowa Constitution. The proposed constitutional amendment would mandate that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms as herein expressed shall not be infringed." |
