IFC to hold “Second Amendment Day” at the Iowa State Capitol

WHO: The Iowa Firearms Coalition
WHAT: Second Amendment Day
WHEN: January 18, 2024 – from 9AM to 12PM
WHERE: Iowa State Capitol Building
WHY: To increase school safety and lobby Iowa’s elected officials to pass common-sense pro-Second Amendment legislation

(MOVILLE, Iowa) — Hundreds of Iowans from across the state will hold a rally at the state Capitol Building on Thursday, January 18th for the Iowa Firearm Coaliton‘s (IFC) annual “Second Amendment Day” – an event where citizens and pro-freedom lawmakers will stand together to push for common sense legislation.

“In the wake of the tragedy at Perry High School, we believe this Second Amendment Day will be the most important and impactful one we have held in Iowa history,” said IFC President Dave Funk. “The time has come for common sense, fact-based legislation that will once and for all keep our children safe at school – our kids cannot afford to wait any longer.”

Among IFC’s goals during this legislative session is to ban phony and dangerous “gun-free zone” signs.

“A sign is not a security plan,” said Funk. “As we have, sadly, seen too many times, ‘gun-free zones’ have proven to be an invitation to those intent on committing evil. The only way to stop a threat is to harden soft targets. It’s past time our kids are as protected at school as our politicians and bureaucrats are in government-run facilities.”

At the event, IFC will be calling on lawmakers to work with school districts in the state to increase their security and allow for trained staff to exercise their constitutional rights on school grounds.

IFC will also push for an end to Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) policies, that are currently legal in Iowa, which are preventing schools from taking the necessary and scientifically proven steps needed to protect students and staff during a crisis. ESG rules have been abused by insurance providers to bully Iowa school boards into not implementing their policies to increase school security, most recently in Cherokee and Spirit Lake.

The event will feature prominent pro-Second Amendment speakers, including lawmakers, IFC leadership, and Gabby Franco, a civil rights advocate, Olympian, and former contestant on the hit History Channel TV series, “Top Shot.”

The Iowa Firearms Coalition, Iowa’s official NRA State Association, is a 501(c4) nonprofit and is Iowa’s only effective pro-Second Amendment rights organization.

How is Asa Hutchinson on the 2A?  Would you like to be part of an IFC Membership Exclusive in conjunction with Brownells?

IFC members want to know the many views of each Presidential Candidate, but we’re hyper-focused on the Second Amendment.  Brownells has assembled an intimate gathering to discuss the candidate’s positions while we offer our concerns about the relentless attacks on this civil right.  The national stage must be shaped, and it starts right here in Iowa with the members of the Iowa Firearms Coalition.

IFC Members, if you can attend, please RSVP as we’d like you to come!  This is an intimate gathering and small panel though, so the first to commit to attending will help us prepare.  In order to truly have an impact and a dialogue to flow freely, we’re limiting numbers to just a few dozen IFC members.  Please RSVP to be part of this Second Amendment discussion!
