It’s OK, You Can Trust Them
It’s OK, you can trust them, President Biden said. This is the same administration that has two tiers of justice, one for their favored leftist and another for the rest of us. This is also the same Department of Justice that just paid out a $144.5 Million dollar settlement to the victims of the Sutherland Springs, Texas Church attack. All the while ignoring the real criminals in America to go after the law-abiding.
In 2017 Sutherland Springs Texas Church attack survivors filed a civil suit against the DOJ and US Air Force, the FBI and USAF for failing to properly update the NICS Instant Check database with information that the shooter, Devin Patrick Kelly, was a prohibited person. Kelly was prohibited due to Kelly’s Bad Conduct Discharge and felony domestic violence convictions while in the USAF. Because the database was not properly updated, Kelly was able to legally purchase the firearms he used in the attack in which he killed 26 worshipers and injured 22 others.
Just in the last two weeks, we saw a former President, and now current Presidential Candidate Trump, charged with a non-existent process crime by a politically-motivated and George Soros backed New York City District Attorney. The case is so weak that even the New York Times called it a travesty.
The politically driven prosecutions against anyone who disagrees with the current administration are more evidence that the framers were right about standing up against tyranny. Defend yourself lawfully, they prosecute you. Speak out against this Administration, they silence you. These are the same guys that tell you we need universal background checks. But they don’t even maintain the database properly.
But it’s OK President Biden tells us, give up your guns! They will protect you, you can trust them.

EVIL COMES TO NASHVILLE — AMERICAN HEROES SHOW HOW TO STOP IT!
Last week we all watched in horror as evil came to Nashville — American heroes show how to stop it. Again, another crazy person attacked a gun-free zone.
Initial reports indicate that the private Christian School had a plan in place to immediately lock down the facility, and the Nashville Metro Police Department quickly responded and closed with and killed the attacker. If you watch the body camera videos you can see that the officers did not delay while they waited for instructions or orders like the Uvalde, Texas Police did several months ago, costing many lives. But instead two officers from the NMPD took tactical command, and aggressively led the team to take out the shooter as quickly as possible.
Of course those dangerous leftist quacks immediately were blaming the guns, but not the evil woman who used them. In Asia and parts of Europe, weekly knife attacks are happening, and in the United Kingdom, over 37,000 knife attacks had happened in 2021, including many with multiple victims.
Fortunately for Iowans, our legislators have provided our school boards with the legal tools they need to ensure that their staff who are Present, Trained, and Willing to be armed are there with the tools they need to stop any threat to the kids we leave in their charge at schools every day immediately.
Free Training Available
If you have time on April 22, join us in Newton for an exclusive and free First Responder & Self Defense training event [scroll down after opening link, for information]. If you’re unsure about what being Present, Trained, & Willing is, this four-hour course will open your eyes.
Contact Your Legislator Regarding HF654
As this Iowa Legislative session grinds on, we all need to reach out again to our State Senator or State House Representative with your support for HF654. Call, fax, email, or use the IFC Action Alert system to reach out to them as soon as possible. And while you’re at it, remind them that Iowa’s voted them into office, not the woke big banks and freight companies; they need to support Governor Reynolds Anti-ESG bill Senate File 507 and stop discriminating against firearm, agriculture, and energy businesses in Iowa.

Legislative Updates on Legislators Who Missed the Message From the Voters of Iowa Last November
This week’s President’s Message is an update on our Iowa Legislators who missed the Iowa voters’ message last November when they passed by an overwhelming majority the Freedom Amendment.
It’s understandable that Des Moines Metro and Johnson County area State Senators and Representatives feel pressure from the ten percent of Iowans who are Leftist dangerous quacks when it comes to gun control issues. After all, a large percentage of that ten percent live in and around Des Moines and Iowa City, so that tends to amplify their voices demanding “common sense gun safety laws”.
As IFC Executive Committee Member Katie Howard so eloquently explained in her blog just a few days ago, so called “Gun Safety” laws are just newspeak for “Gun Control”. The resistance to HF654 (the comprehensive gun bill that cleans up many parts of Iowa Code to bring them into compliance with both the Freedom Amendment and the recent SCOTUS Decision (Bruen), is being brought up by the very vocal Leftist 10% who want a monopoly on power.
Surprising to no one, those anti-freedom Leftists are all for the arming of their favorite groups, be they LGBT, BLM, or Antifa, but not ordinary, everyday American citizens. Recently, National Public Radio reporter Todd Bookman did a story on exactly that. One of the quotes in the story was:
“I mean, if you go far enough left, you get your guns back.”
Need I say more? Time to reach out AGAIN to your State Senator or State House Representative with your support of HF654. Call, Fax, email, or use the IFC Action Alert system to reach out to them as soon as possible. And while you’re at it, remind them that Iowan’s voted them into office, not the woke big banks and freight companies. They need to support Governor Reynolds Anti-ESG bill, Senate File 507, and stop discriminating against firearm, agriculture, and energy businesses in Iowa.

YOU KNOW THEY WANT YOUR GUNS — HERE’S JUST ANOTHER WAY THEY PLAN ON TAKING THEM
You know they want your guns, be it through litigation, outright banning them, or just plain old making you a “Prohibited Person”.
When Congress passed the Gun Control Act of 1968 it codified several reasons that an American citizen could lose their right to keep and bear arms or ammunition. Most of you are familiar with BATFE Form 4473 and the Yes / No questions that must be answered before a Federal Firearms Licensee can legally transfer possession of any gun to you.
One of those questions is whether you have been adjudicated mentally incompetent or have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution. The Washington Examiner, along with several other news organizations, recently reported that the FBI, US Secret Service, and ICE have worked together to have roughly sixty citizens voluntarily sign away their constitutional rights. That’s despite them having no legal basis for those persons to do so. Part of being mentally incompetent means you cannot legally enter into contracts or agreements. How then can someone be deemed mentally incompetent if they are able to waive a constitutional right?
To quote the Washington Examiner:
The latest revelation comes after the Washington Examiner reported earlier this month that the FBI coordinated secretly with hospitals and medical centers to strip at least five U.S. citizens of their gun rights.
Following that report, several watchdog groups raised concerns over the FBI’s actions in collaboration with private and public medical facilities.
“Frustratingly, every day, there seems to be a new revelation of the FBI working to violate the rights of American citizens,” Tom Jones, president of the American Accountability Foundation, a conservative watchdog, told the Washington Examiner, calling on the Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to launch an investigation.
In Washington and around the country, there are hundreds of reports of people being targeted for prosecution; specifically, those who hold differing opinions from the leftist in power. This is just another example of our now “two-tiered” justice system. Hopefully Representative Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee can follow through on his promise to get to the bottom of this.
