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 |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
