View Full Version : Iowa Adds "right to keep and bear arms" Amendment to State Constitution...
Thank god.
It was one of the few states that didn't have a specific 2A right in their state constitution.
In the last 10 years this "sorta blue" state added SBRs and suppressors, went from "may issue" to "shall issue", added open carry with permit and then open carry. They still need to add MGs to become a full NFA state.

Florida's is a mess. We don't have a right, we have a privilege.

Every constitution needs to have a mention that no individual or group may be excepted from a law or ordinance based on occupation.

I agree, but there is a priority. Means to back up our shit when we call BS is top of the list.

Already have it. I can put a SIG on my hip, sling an AR and walk down the street without any permit of any kind. This funny part is we can do it so we don't have any activists forcing the issue that I've ever seen.
