We all were shocked when it was announced that Paul Pelosi, US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband, was brutally attacked by what turned out to be a lunatic illegal alien home invader recently at their San Francisco residence.
Some of us were not surprised by Dr. John Lott’s article at Real Clear Politics today that the FBI obscures data on the Defensive Use of Firearms by everyday American good guys to stop crime, particularly in the states where the possession of firearms by civilians is not heavily restricted. To quote Dr. Lott:
“The FBI doesn’t differentiate between law-abiding citizens stopping attacks where guns are banned and where they are allowed, but you can’t really expect law-abiding citizens to stop attacks where it is illegal to carry guns. In places where law-abiding citizens are allowed to carry firearms, the percentage of active shootings stopped is above 50% for the whole period. And, again, we are more confident that we have more of the cases in recent years. The figure hits 58% in 2021.”
I’m sure Mr. Pelosi wished he had a gun to fight off his attacker, a man forty years his junior, instead of his bare hands. But hey, Speaker Pelosi wants everyone disarmed. So if you don’t want to be unequipped to defend yourself from a crazed home invader in the middle of the night like they are in California, flip your ballot over vote Yes on the Freedom Amendment on November 8th.
In Liberty,
IFC President Dave Funk
Just Wanted to know what this yes vote will do for felons being able to posses I am a felon for past drug issues have never used a firearm for anything other than hunting can I get my right to bare arm back??
Sir,
This amendment will offer no bearing on felony rights restoration. There is a process in place in Iowa for the restoration of lost rights, but is has nothing to do with this amendment. The Freedom Amendment is the addition of the right to keep and bear arms to Iowa’s constitution, which we currently do not have. Most folks inquiring about rights restoration contact the governor’s office to begin learning about the process and prerequisites.
