Iowa legislature's efforts to change their constitution:
Iowa House OKs bill to protect gun rights - Washington Times

The bill was originally introduced in late January, where it has seen changes and some contentious debate ever since.

In addition, the House passed a Stand Your Ground bill, which explicitly lets Iowans use “deadly force” against a person committing a felony, wherever they may be. Critics charge that the law will encourage gun use, with Mr. McCarthy predicting that these bills, if enacted, would make Iowa like the “Wild, Wild West.”

Let's hope they can get both of these passed!
