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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
