2A WRAP-UP: LOTS OF STUFF

The 2A Wrap-Up this week has lots of stuff to cover. Before we delve into it though, a quick note on the Southeast Iowa Congressional District. As I mentioned last week, it was a nail-biter. However, Dr. Miller-Meeks wrapped up the win with about an 800-vote margin. You might remember that two years ago, just six votes won the district! Never let anyone tell you your vote does not matter.

IOWA HOUSE AND SENATE WRAP UP

The Republicans have super majorities in both the House and Senate. Unfortunately, the Democrats still have no openly 2A-supporting members.

DES MOINES REGISTER POLL LEAK INVESTIGATION

You may have heard that the Iowa Poll tried to throw the election to Harris in surrounding states. They did this by fudging its previously highly-regarded Iowa Poll. The poll overstated Harris’ support in Iowa by at least thirteen points, according to the tally on election day. Now Gannet, the owner of the Register, is investigating how the poll was leaked to the Illinois Governor in advance of its official publication. How much farther can the Register fall into obscurity?

FLORIDA AND ILLINOIS IN THE NEWS

First off, Floridians passed a state constitutional amendment by 67%, to enshrine the right to hunt and fish. Iowa needs to follow suit on this issue. Look at the margin: it was 2:1, and just like the Freedom Amendment here in Iowa, it garnered bipartisan support. 

And in Illinois, U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn handed down a 168-page rebuke of the state’s latest gun and magazine ban as unconstitutional. Bruen strikes again!

LEFTISTS ARE MELTING DOWN OVER THE POLITICAL REALIGNMENT

Say what you will, but clearly the people who make America work have handed the leftists in America a massive condemnation. The important thing is that now the old hands in Washington DC realize they have been given a mandate to get back to a smaller, less intrusive federal government just as the Framers designed. It’s our job to stay after them to follow through on this mandate.

Please stay Ready at All Times, and help us defend all of Iowa’s rights by renewing or joining IFC today.

Shoot Straight, Speak The Truth, and Never Surrender Our Liberties.
