The Amendment will be on the ballot.

Similar amendments in other states have passed with large margins.

In spite of those bold words, Iowa is one of only six states which do not have protection in the state constitution for the right to keep and bear arms.

Anyone know what the other states are?

[telescope115]

WAY TO GO, IOWA!!👍

[Joe 6-pack]

NY, NJ, CA, MD and MN.

[marktwain]

From the article:

The five states which will continue without protection for the right to keep and bear arms in their state constitutions are California, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York.

Gee, what a surprise. The usual suspects.

[Lower Deck]

Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.

The devil will be in the details.

Good Morning imardmd1,
Enjoyed the explanation of your screen name, in your bio =:^)

Even if Zeldin wins, the NYS Legislature will never allow anything pro-gun to come to a vote. Dems hold power in the State.

Why is that needed? It is the 2nd Amendment.

[iamgalt]

This is good, the rats have perfected getting high Dem turnout ballot proposals on November ballots. Two can play that game

[Lockbar]

Add ILL-eye-noise to that list. It has a useless state 2nd amendment that is prefaced by the statement “subject to police power blah blah...”. If the police can decide if your “rights: are under their control...it is completely useless.

All five of these states probably rank pretty high in the “gun violence” category.

What a surprise.

"Why is that needed? It is the 2nd Amendment."

The Federal Constitution and Federal Bill of Rights did not repeal the state Bills of Rights. This is acknowledged at the Constitutional Convention.

Mr. SHERMAN, was for securing the rights of the people where requisite. The State Declarations of Rights are not repealed by this Constitution; and being in force are sufficient.

Iowa needs an Amendment of this effect because as a jurisdiction, Iowa is vulnerable.

[odawg]

That doesn’t make sense. In other words, the Constitution is powerless unless repeated in a state constitution.

[jjotto]

Meh…

It’s never been a controversy in Iowa. Only reason for it now is federal interference.

If my history is correct, the Civil War started when Dred Scott escaped to Iowa and his owners were prevented from chasing him, capturing him in Iowa and taking him back to MO. The underground railroad in Iowa helped slaves elude capture.
