Republicans in the Iowa House have passed a bill that would force any Iowa city or county with gun restrictions in a government-owned building to screen people at entrances and have an armed guard inside.
Representative Steven Holt, a Republican from Denison, said it will help ensure Iowans have the right to self defense. It is also about the health and safety of our children and our families, Holt said. It is about my right as a parent to be prepared to defend my wife and my children my family. |

"The constitutional right to own a firearm comes with important responsibility regarding community safety and therefore it must come with conditions." - Democrat Representative Beth Wessel-Kroeschell
Not much of a civics student, are ya?
The Bill of Rights places conditions on the GOVERNMENT, not on the people.
"[T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - D.C. v. Heller (2008) |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. Alexis de Tocqueville |
