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.”

A new poll shows growing support among likely Iowa voters for the Freedom Amendment heading into the November general election.
The Freedom Amendment would add Second Amendment protections to Iowa’s state constitution. Only six states, which include Iowa, Minnesota, Maryland, California, New York, and New Jersey, do not have language in their respective state constitutions that protect the right of their citizens to keep and bear arms.
The Iowans for Tax Relief (ITR) poll found more than 62% of likely Iowa voters plan to support the measure in November, compared to just over 31% who reported they were against codifying the civil right.
The new data shows support for the Freedom Amendment has grown by several points since a similar poll was conducted in July. While the poll again showed strong nonpartisan support among Iowans of all political stripes, the new data also reveals support is growing the fastest among Independent and Democrat voters.
“The polling on the Freedom Amendment continues to show that while we live in a divisive political climate, Iowans are united in their support of their civil rights,” said Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) President Dave Funk. “From Governor Greg Abbott’s Texas to Senator Bernie Sanders’ Vermont, nearly every state in the union has already adopted their own version of the Freedom Amendment and we look forward to continuing our efforts to make sure Iowa has one of our own too.”

(DES MOINES, Iowa) — Former Iowa Governor and Ambassador to China Terry Branstad announced on Wednesday he plans to vote for the Freedom Amendment, which would add Second Amendment language to Iowa’s constitution, in November and he’s encouraging his fellow Iowans to do the same. The announcement was made on the Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) Facebook page during a broadcast of their weekly video podcast, #2A4IA Warrior Wednesday.
“It’s something that is near and dear to my heart,” said Ambassador Branstad. “I just want to be sure to encourage all Iowa voters to turn that ballot over and vote ‘yes’ for that Freedom Amendment.”
Ambassador Branstad’s endorsement comes on the heels of a recent Iowans for Tax Relief poll that found nearly 60% of Iowans plan to also support the Freedom Amendment. Their findings further showed large support among voters, regardless of which party they affiliated with.
“Ambassador Branstad spent his career working hard to advance civil rights in Iowa and we welcome his support of the Freedom Amendment,” said IFC President, Dave Funk. “The Freedom Amendment is a nonpartisan issue and it’s passed time Iowans have the same protections in their state constitution as nearly every other American.”
Similar versions to Iowa’s proposed Freedom Amendment have already been adopted by nearly every other state in the Union. Only New York, Minnesota, New Jersey, Maryland, California and Iowa do not have one.
“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.”
