Iowa Gun Rights & the End of 2010 Legislative Session

Iowa Gun Rights & the End of 2010 Legislative Session

Iowa – -(AmmoLand.com)- Hours ago the 2010 legislative session came to an end. There is much to report in the 2nd Amendment fight. That report will be coming out in a matter of days.

For now, know that ‘shall issue’ did pass – with a lot of problems. The anti-gunners surely bought themselves some political cover with this vote. We have a lot to do.

Our bill did not make it this session but the good news is that in the Iowa Senate our bill is only 6 votes short of passage! In the House, we are only 5 votes short! (It was short by 6 yesterday but one pro-gun Representative was not there and she would have voted yes.)

Folks – in 15 months we’ve taken Iowa to the brink of some of the best laws anywhere in the country.

You deserve a huge thank you for all your support this session. Your emails, phone calls, and trips to the Capitol have been extremely successful.

Now the fun part begins! November is not that far away and between now and then Iowa Gun Owners will be educating thousands of grassroots gun owners across the state about the gun views of the members of the House and Senate.

For today know that you have been very successful this session and clearly deserve a lot of thanks for what did pass – as faulty as it is.

Please look for Iowa Gun Owners’ 2010 Legislative Analysis that will be coming out later this week.

Yours for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms,

About:
Iowa Gun Owners (IGO) was formed in January of 2009 to combat the oppressive gun laws in the State of Iowa. IGO does not believe that you, as a law abiding citizen, should have to beg permission from the government to be able to defend yourself and your family. That’s why we are working so hard to get a Vermont/Alaska style carry law passed in Iowa. In these states, unless you are a convicted felon or otherwise barred from possessing weapons, you don’t need a permit to carry a gun for self-defense! Join us now! Visit: www.iowagunowners.org
