Review & Preview – Week 6 of Iowa’s Legislative Session

Review & Preview – Week 6 of Iowa’s Legislative Session


“That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or laborers’ cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.”

-George Orwell, 1941

Week 6 recap:

In the last week we’ve continued to make progress behind the scenes in the state legislature. Meetings with legislators are on going and we’re making solid gains on moving pro-Second Amendment legislation forward.

Nationally, the fight against the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) and their proposed ban on popular M855 ammunition also continues. Thousands of you have already taken advantage of our free, easy to use “Email the BATFE” tool, add your voice to the conversation to help block this latest gun control scheme.

Here in Iowa, we’ve dropped the price on our IFC lifetime memberships for a limited time ($500 now $300). This coincides with the reduced rate currently available on NRA lifetime memberships ($1,000 now $500).

For details on how to get the reduced rate for either organization visit our website. Special thanks to Controlled Chaos Arms for sponsoring this great deal!

What you need to know for week 7:

Ban on M855
The clock is ticking, tell the BATFE to drop their proposed ban on M855. They’re only accepting public comment between now and March 16thEmail the BATFE today!

Iowa Legislature
So far this year we’ve introduced the following pro-Second Amendment bills:

-Stand Your Ground
-Emergency Powers
-Preemption Cleanup
-Repealing the Youth Shooting Ban

We’re also working on handful of other pro-Second Amendment bills. We’ve got a run down on the latest information on all of these bills on our 2015 Legislative Session webpage. We’re updating our site whenever there’s a change to any of these bills, so check back often.

What you can do right now:

Email the BATFE! Tell them to drop their proposed ban on M855.

Email your legislators! Tell them to support pro-Second Amendment bills already introduced.

Become a Lifetime Member. Reduced rates available for a limited time.
