I, and many other legislators have been trying to enact an amendment to the Iowa constitution to guarantee the rights of Iowans to keep and bear arms, as is guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, for a number of years. In our current proposal, we are leaving off the language in the preamble of the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, having to do with a militia. The reason is that opponents of a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms have used that preamble, so far unsuccessfully, to argue that the Constitutional right only applies to the military and law enforcement, and not to the average citizen. |

| "The Right of the People". To think otherwise is just one more reason to leave if you don't like it here. "They" just want the young to think that voting is the only thing you have. You have rights. Know them.. Liberty and Freedom awaits all who do. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
