State Rep. Dan Muhlbauer's declaration that he stands firmly behind the U.S. Constitution's gun-rights amendment drew a strong challenge at the Carroll Chamber of Commerce's first legislative forum of the Legislature's 2013 session Saturday morning.
Muhlbauer continues to draw heat for comments he made in an interview with the Times Herald soon after the shooting massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in December.
In that interview, Muhlbauer, D-Manilla, suggested strong gun-control measures, including possible confiscation of particularly high-powered weapons, and received nationwide media attention.
At Saturday's forum attended by about 40 people in the New Hope activities building, Muhlbauer and state Sen. Mark Segebart, R-Vail, were asked about the progress of gun-confiscation bills in the Legislature.
Both said no such bills have been introduced in the Legislature, which went into session two weeks ago.
"I haven't seen any bills that would prevent semi-automatic weapons," Segebart said.
He added, "I don't think you're going to see any change in our gun laws here in Iowa, especially limiting shotguns and that sort of thing. But I do think we're going to address this through the mental-health system and figure out a way sheriffs are going to be able to identify the mental-health patients out there that we know about.
"Given that not in any of these disastrous crimes that have taken place was there a person who had a permit to carry a firearm who did it, you can do all that and not change the outcome at all."
Muhlbauer said he won't propose any gun controls and also mentioned "a bad interview that I did" with the Times Herald.
"I fully stand behind the Second Amendment," he said...

And the bluff was indeed unmasked today when the American government threw cold water on the story: the White House denied the very report that Israeli officials have spent days pumping up. "We have no information to confirm the allegations in the report and we do not believe the report is credible," spokesman Jay Carney said
Weasel words from a Rat weasel.
No - they're letting the Feds do their dirty work so they can get re-elected.

Williams pointed out Muhlbauer initially said in interviews and correspondence following the Times Herald article that the newspaper story was inaccurate and slanted. However, Williams said, the newspaper has made audio of the interview available online and the story was "very accurate.""What are we supposed to believe," Williams said, "that you're pro-Second Amendment or not pro-Second Amendment."
The approved community action for men like Muhlbauer, D-Manilla, in 1776 was:
A) We all go out to the nearest townhouse
and have an ale with him.
B) We make him fire an overloaded musket 12 times.
C) We tar and feather him.
Liar.
Democrats lie, and as Ann Coulter once observed, they do it for sheer sport.
In this case, the irony is that the Dem is lying to cover up an inadvertent telling the truth about his feelings and intentions.
.
A quick count shows over 20 anti Second Amendment bills.
How about a bill stipulating that no Member of Congress (and no member of their staffs) may be exempted from any "gun control legislation", and that armed security would be considered open (and/or concealed) carry, as the case might be?
.
Yeah - and many are interwoven and overlapping.
If these bastards get any one or two through, they'll be happy... until they come back for yet another bite of the Liberty apple.
Make up a bunch of signs with this legend and put em up in his district and watch him go nuts.
Democrats Are
GOD DENIERS AND CONGENITAL LIARS
“Backstroking at 100 knots.”
