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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
