A shooting late Sunday evening at a concert in Las Vegas killed more than 50 people and injured more than 500, according to law enforcement officials. The latest mass shooting sparked questions among readers about what laws are in place in Iowa. While the federal government has some jurisdiction over gun regulations, states also have freedom to write their own gun laws. |

"State law does not overrule federal law."
Inside any state where state law prohibits the possession of automatic weapons, it does. The weapons are legal according to federal law, but they are still illegal inside that state. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
