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!
A little bit about Brownells for those of you unfamiliar, although you’d need to have lived under a rock to NOT know about Brownells:
Three generations ago Bob Brownell founded our company on those three words Selection, Service, and Satisfaction. More than seventy years later our strong foundation still rests upon those words (read about our history)
For over 80 years, Brownells has been providing quality Gunsmithing tools, gun parts and service to the firearms industry. For all but two of those years, there has been a consistent brand image, the oblong horizontal shape of our catalog and the graphical design of our Brownells logo. For all of those years, these two uniquely, identifiable products have stood for our promise of service, selection and satisfaction.
Selection – Over 90,000 gun parts, tools, and supplies; everything you need all in one place.
Factory parts from fifteen of the industry’s leading firearms manufacturers
Rifle, shotgun, and handgun parts, tools & accessories
With the start of 2023, once again we are reminded of what real leadership looks like. Not the Washington, D.C. type, where the alleged “power brokers” take our money through taxes and then redistribute it to those who vote for a living, but the real thing.
Iowa’s own Peter Brownell has been named the Chairman and CEO of the BROWNELLS 2ND ADVENTURE GROUP, stepping back into the day-to-day role of leading this great Iowa Company.
All of us at IFC are blessed to have Pete’s friendship, counsel, and support as one of IFC’s long-term board members.

The U.S. Army’s Lake City plant, yes you read that correctly, our United States Army which runs an ammunition factory, is being told to stop producing for the commercial market. The facility accounts for nearly 30% of ammunition production. That should help his approval ratings…
This would mean no longer can Lake City sell their popular M855 and SS109 to the civilian market. A direct attack on the ammunition used for America’s most popular modern sporting rifle with nearly 25 million known rifles being in the United States. A cowardly and desperate move by an administration throwing a tantrum because they can’t get another “assault” weapon ban passed. Continually attacking us where it may hurt the most, our wallets.
While the federal government is on the assault on one end, we must ensure that our state is protected with preemptive measures, like the Freedom Amendment. Which amends Iowa’s Constitution to add the strong protections of the Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, with strict scrutiny.
So, what we need is for you to engage with all of social media as much as possible, while also telling your friends, families, and followers about the Freedom Amendment. It will be found on the back of the ballot in November. Vote YES on the Freedom Amendment and enshrine our rights to keep and bear arms in Iowa’s Constitution once and for all. Join Today!

A House Staffer was arrested in Washington, DC for carrying an unregistered weapon into Congress while also not having a license to carry it. To be honest here, I have no issue with someone carrying an unregistered firearm, or without a license to do so if they’re lawfully allowed to possess firearms. In Iowa we have the luxury of not having a firearm registry, we have Constitutional Carry, and we can legally carry into our beautiful State Capitol.
However, we’re not talking about Iowa here. We are talking about the most heavily policed state in the country and even they can’t get it right. With a place that has facial recognition, more police per capita than nearly anywhere else in the country, and more dreamt up security measures than one can imagine. I understand, DC is not perfect, clearly. In my mind I would assume of all places DC would be the radical lefts shining beacon of gun control that works, except it clearly doesn’t. We know gun control doesn’t work, that’s not the argument here.
What I am trying to understand is who this staffer is, how he “forgot” a firearm, passed through security where they clearly saw a firearm, but he was allowed to stroll freely for 4 minutes putting the entire complex on lockdown prior to being stopped. In my opinion, forgetting you have a firearm on you is a lot like leaving your kid in a car while you go into the convenience store for some fatty cakes and a soda pop. You just don’t do it. This was a complete failure on security for letting him through.
Lets take a moment and disregard the fact he forgot his firearm, I don’t know the full outcome of the situation yet. So, this man is essentially made a criminal now for exercising his right to bear arms simply because the security measures that were in place, failed due to human error. As far as I can gather, possessing a firearm or ammunition is a maximum sentence in jail and a $2500 fine. I’ve also found that this has happened many times prior.
This happening on the heels of what our talking heads call an “insurrection,” one would assume they would ramp up security measures and take it more seriously. What would happen if a non staffer, like myself would wander into our nations Capitol armed. Would we be fined, have our hand slapped and released or would we be jailed indefinitely thanks to the Patriot Act. Who knows.
In closing, take the situation for what it’s worth. Even those who legislate, can’t reduce human error, and stripping rights from law abiding persons doesn’t make anyone safer it just slowly makes everyone criminals. While they sit in their ivory tower, which continues to be breached, I will sit here comfortably and responsibly armed providing my own security.
