Last night, the Iowa House voted 60-37 to pass a bill that would allow Iowans to purchase and carry firearms without a permit. One Democrat joined Republicans in voting yes. The bill now goes to the Senate. #ialegis desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
"These proposals recognize that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right, not a privilege, and that Iowans should not be required to get a permission slip and pay a fee in order to purchase a firearm," said Rep. Steven Holt. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
Democrats say the bill would eliminate background checks for private gun sales.
"The bill makes permits to carry optional," said Rep Beth Wessel-Kroeschell. "And where do you get a background check? You get a background check when you go to get a permit." desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

The Iowa House also passed a bill last night that would shield gun and ammunition manufacturers from several types of lawsuits related to the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of their products. #ialegis desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
