On June third, the first day the Iowa legislature re-convened after the Wuhan Flu shutdown, the Iowa Senate passed a comprehensive gun law reform bill that restricts political subdivisions of Iowa government from infringing on Second Amendment rights. HF 2502 passed  32-17. There are 34 Republicans in the Iowa Senate.

Second Amendment supporters have been attempting to pass the bill for several years.

HF 2502 had passed in the Iowa House on 27 February 2020, on a 52 to 44 vote, with 4 members not voting. There are 56 Republicans and 44 Democrats in the Iowa House. The bill was earlier reported on as HSB 615.

There are six main components of HF 2502:

First:  Current and future shooting ranges are protected against local governments.  Ranges or range improvements may not be singled out for special treatment.  Only the same zoning restrictions that are applied  other uses, may be applied to ranges.  Range specific restrictions are limited to those specified in state law.

Second: Protections for the modification of firearms, firearm attachments, and other weapons, have been added to the state preemption law.. Any such local ordinance, enacted after 5 April, 1990, shall be void.
