Do you know that Iowa is one of only six states that do not recognize our precious Second Amendment rights in their constitutions? It may seem hard to believe, but Iowa, which adopted “shall issue” Permits to Carry Weapons in 2010 and became a “constitutional carry” state in 2021, shares that dubious distinction with California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Minnesota.
The Iowa Firearms Coalition, Iowa’s only effective gun-rights organization, has been hard at work for years to get this fixed! Amending Iowa’s Constitution is no easy task. The course is long and there are many hurdles and pitfalls along the way. But the good news is that what the IFC calls the “Freedom Amendment” has now passed two consecutive Iowa General Assemblies and the issue will be on the ballot for Iowa voters to decide on November 8, 2022.
The proposed Freedom Amendment reads:
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa affirms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right. Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.”

ACTION!
On Saturday our Coalition’s President spoke to 50 members of the Des Moines Rifle & Revolver Club regarding The Freedom Amendment at their annual membership meeting.
On Monday our Coalition’s Chief Lobbyist attended the Rally The Vote meeting where he met 400 people and the gathered crowd heard various speakers encourage votes for The Freedom Amendment.
Today, the online news feed “Ammoland” featured our coalition’s Freedom Amendment placard and story.
This is why, we will be successful in amending the Iowa Constitution!
Our coalition’s leadership team is making an “All Out Effort” to get the word out about The Freedom Amendment.
Each of us have a responsibility, we have 28 days left to spread the word.
We will be in the 4H building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on 10-22-2022.
Stop by the Iowa Firearms Coalition table and say Hello!
