My fellow Iowans,
Bill drafts are being tweaked and this week we’ve already seen several subcommittees begin work. 2020 is well underway.
We’re compiling a list of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly on our site so everyone can view the various legislative pieces. We’ll also provide that list via email so you can circulate it among your fellow freedom loving friends, family, and neighbors. Expect it shortly.
IFC has been flooded with concerns about Second Amendment Sanctuary possibilities as the world continues to witness Virginia citizens being crushed into oblivion by their new oppressors. IFC teamed up with NRA-ILA to offer example resolution language you can offer your own County Board of Supervisors. Please find that language below. There is also a link to that example language on our site, so you can open, save, print, and share that document far and wide. Take the “YOUR” portion out and insert your county. Done.
RESOLUTION DECLARING YOUR COUNTY TO BE A SECOND AMENDMENT SANCTUARY COUNTY
WHEREAS, the right of the people to keep and bear arms is guaranteed as an individual right under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” and
WHEREAS, the right of the people to keep and bear arms for defense of life, liberty, and property is regarded as an inalienable right by the people of YOUR County, Iowa; and
WHEREAS, the people of YOUR County, Iowa derive economic benefit from all lawful forms of firearms recreation, hunting, and shooting conducted within YOUR County using all types of firearms allowable under the United States Constitution and the laws of the State of Iowa; and
WHEREAS, the YOUR County Board of Supervisors was elected to represent the citizens of YOUR County, and have sworn by their Oath of Office to uphold the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Iowa; and
WHEREAS, Iowa State Senators and State Representatives have also sworn by their Oath of Office to uphold the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Iowa; and
WHEREAS, legislation is currently being considered and expected to be proposed by both the Iowa State Legislature and Federal Legislature that potentially seeks to infringe on the constitutionally protected right of citizens to keep and bear arms; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to declare that YOUR County is a Second Amendment Sanctuary County, as YOUR County opposes the enactment of any legislation that would infringe upon the constitutional right of the people of YOUR County to keep and bear arms.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the YOUR County Board of Supervisors hereby declares YOUR County to be a Second Amendment Sanctuary County, and hereby states its opposition to the enactment of any legislation that would infringe upon the constitutional right of the people of YOUR County to keep and bear arms.
The Iowa Firearms Coalition is an all volunteer advocacy group and we need your engagement and your membership. Consider volunteering and becoming a member today.
Thank you all,
Michael Ware
IFC Chairman
